gingerbread house

in an attempt to keep miles busy during the blustery cold weather, we assembled our first gingerbread house. now, if you are a baker-extraordinaire, I suggest you scroll on past this one. there was to be no baking and cutting out of real gingerbread in this house. oh no no. my cousin, olivia, bought this kit for miles and it made the whole process easy-peasy. more importantly, it put it well within the short attention span of a 19 month old. miles quickly discovered that the decorations were candy and the "glue" was icing. hence the need for a bath at the end of the decorating!

"hey mom, I thought this was for me?"
"YIKES! uncle marc is scary!!"
"ok - you do the icing and I'll organize the candy"
"hmmm...this looks like a good one"
"icing on the nose...no problem...I'll eat that for you!"
