Gingerbread House - Where the Elves Live

Boston went grocery shopping with me the other day & we thought it would be fun for him and brooklyn to create a gingerbread house together. We found a cute little kit that had the house with santa's sleigh and reindeer.

By the time we got home, most of the pieces in the kit had gotten broken, so I used the frosting to "glue" the chunks back together! It worked great and the kids did a good job covering the seams with candies.



I gave a shaker of sprinkles to both kiddos and let them decorate the house with candies however their little hearts desired. Brooklyn decided that there needed to be mounds of red sprinkle snow - mainly in the same corner of the scene, & all over the kitchen counter! Boston was more interested in eating the skittles and sneaking a couple peppermints to the dog!



Brooklyn will occasionally push a chair over to the counter and pick candy off the house and eat pieces of the gingerbread - it's actually starting to look a little bare without santa, only one reindeer, & a house with half a roof!
