Our first annual gingerbread house

Tonight Bryan, Andrew, and I built our very first gingerbread house. I have always wanted to do one, but never have. I figured Andrew was at the perfect age to start a new Christmas tradition. Now, I am not much of a baker, so for our first house I decided to just buy the kit already done and just add the icing and candy to it. Maybe next year I will attempt to bake my own...but probably not;)

When Andrew woke up from his nap, I asked him if he was ready to make the house and he said, 'oh, yeth!' I love how excited he gets about things that he has no clue as to what they actually are;)

The three of us had a great time and it wasn't until the very end that Andrew finally realized that you could eat the candy;) Basically everything after that went into his mouth instead of on the tree;)
