Gingerbread House on a Sunday

On Sunday Mike and I decided to lounge around for most of the day- we gave Buddy a bath ( his first in a long time, since he is finally over his meds and can get a little wound up- we were afraid to bathe him before because he gets so hyper afterwards!) and we cleaned the fish tank, and we cleaned the house a bit. At this point we were still in our pajamas, and we decided to watch Hellboy 2 and make a Gingerbread house!!

We had so much fun : ) I can't remember ever making a gingerbread house before... either way, we had a blast. And it feels like the first intro to Christmas this year- I am excited for Thanksgiving, not only because I love it, but because afterwards I can decorate for Christmas and not feel silly : P

Anyways, thought you would enjoy pictures from our little gingerbread house making experience.

I thought the candies in the dishes were kind of a cute picture..... : D

Had to cut out the excess cookie from within the placement spots....

Mike was filling the slots with the frosting....

.... and Mike frosting the sides and putting the house together. We had to let it sit and dry for a half hour after this, so we just watched the movie and made lunch. 

Mike figured out how to make icicles on the roof sides!

It took me forever to get the timer set and position the camera right for this picture, Mike was little antsy by the end of it.  But I got the picture of us and our finished product!
