The House that Smittles Built

So, some things just aren't that much fun to do with 5 kids 8 and under. Things often get crazy and we end up getting a little frantic, but it doesn't stop us from trying to let our kids do "normal" things. One of those things is building a gingerbread house each year. Here are a few pictures of the process. I didn't get an after picture. I'll have to do that another time and post it later.

This is the first year we got a real kit. Totally worth the money!

There are a LOT of candies on the roof.

Look at those big girls work together!

The final touches(and licks).

Adding more icing. Ha! They kept "accidentally" getting it on their fingers!

Not too Manly to build a cookie house! He's pretty handsome!

And now, things are ready to come to an end or it's going to start getting crazy up in here!
