One of my favorite things we've done as a house so far has been to build this gingerbread house... it took lots of hands, lots of hours, lots of creativity, and lots of patience... We made lots of mistakes (you may notice the big hole in the roof), but we had lots of laughs and ate tons of candy.

Putting the walls together-- they were heavy, so they're being held up here with honey wheat pretzels.
Decorating the front yard.
So we learned today (after 3 days of construction) that the roof we decorated was actually the walls, and the walls are actually the roof. Oops... we hear this mistake happens all the time in the real world.
It still looks like a cool gingerbread house to us. Even with the big gap in the roof....
