Gingerbread House
Noah has been begging me to make a gingerbread house ever since New Year's Eve, when he watched part of a gingerbread-house-building contest at TBC's fellowship. I looked at Target to see if they had any of the kits on clearance, but couldn't even find anything remotely Christmas-y on clearance there. Then I looked up a recipe online to see if I could make one from scratch. The recipe I found said it took 2-3 DAYS to complete.
Well that's just nuts.
So I prepared Noah for the fact that we may have to wait until next year to make one, and we went on about life. BUT!! At CVS the other night, I happened to look down at their Christmas clearance and saw one! Marked down to $2.91!!
Monday we put it together.
I have decided that gingerbread houses are much nicer to look at than they are to eat. I think the kit companies add cardboard flakes to the dough to make it durable, I really do. Oh well! Maybe if I made one from scratch it would be tastier.

'Course, then I'd have to wait 2-3 DAYS to find out.
(I still can't believe that.)
