Building a House

Thanks to my mom for providing the gingerbread (and Grandma Elwood for the recipe and pattern) and meringue powder, we were able to have a little house-building party last night.

Notice the snowman needs a little help?  Well, this morning
he was missing his longer arm and had face-planted
in the front yard.  Poor little guy.

I'm quite pleased with the result - especially since we used things we already had in the house to decorate. (Like we really need to go buy any more candy at Christmastime!)
