Gingerbread House

On December 17th, for Family Home Evening, we decorated a ginger bread house. The decorating kit I bought actually had the house already put together. It was perfect! The kids were so excited to help us decorate the house.The kids loved popping the bubble wrap the house came in.
Each of them got a turn to help Brandon frost the roof.
Helping Mom decorating the roof. It was cute to see how hard they would focus as they were trying to get the candy on the house just right. We practiced the kids' pattern skills as we would make patterns on the house with the candy. They did pretty good!

The end result! We had a great time that night. I think one of the kids' favorite part of the night was eating the left over candy. The kids really enjoyed being able to break off little pieces here and there to eat. It was a fun decoration to have for the Christmas season.
