While we were enjoying our time off over the holiday we knew we had to keep with tradition, so it was time to decorate a gingerbread house.

Now, I can't help but wonder why the pictures on the side of the gingerbread boxes are always so beautiful.

My girls, Stef and Sam and my sister, Jean and I each took one side of the gingerbread house and diligently went to work. We started out trying to be as neat as we could. The frosting started oozing out of both sides of the baker's tube and before long, we had frosting all over the place and all over ourselves.

We had the ugliest gingerbread house we have ever seen.

And, we had the most wonderful time ever!

We laughed our heads off, as we wiped the icing off the walls.

Sandy: I think you are being much too harsh on yourself, your sister and your girls. AND... if I had been doing the same decorating with MY girls and sister... if I had them... I would be just THRILLED to be spending time with them. Which means, of course, that whatever we did would have turned out just beautiful... at least to my eyes. Hey... do you get to eat the gingerbread house now ?

Sandy, no fair. I'm not a fan of gumdrops so that's why I haven't built more gingerbread houses in my life, but yours has "Skittles" I think. It's skittledelicious!

Someone had a great time in making the gingerbread house and that's what counts.

Good luck and success.

Some of the worst looking food ends up being some of the best tasting.

Sandy, I'll bet you had a blast doing that...I would love to make one and wouldn't worry about how it came out. Over here it would be eaten pretty quickly anyway :)

I've always wanted to make one but figured I'll do it with my grandkids one day. What fun you had! And I'm sure it tasted yummy.
