Gingerbread House

Building a Gingerbread House has become one of our favorite traditions. The kids ask when we are going to do it a thousand times before I ever even get one. Because I have learned how to be the least frustrated in this project, I hotglue it all together sometime prior to its sugary assembly then I set it on the table and back away. Sometimes I help with the icing, sometimes I totally let it be their project. We dig through Haloween Candy (thus the reason for all the Buzz Lightyear adorning our house) and pile on as much as it will hold.
The joy for them is totally worth it. I just have to figure out how to make the project last more than 7 minutes.
