Advent Activity Day 14

*stretch

It's was a very busy weekend. Fun, but very busy. We had my husband's work banquet as well as his side of the family's Christmas gathering.

We have my husband's son again for the next week, so that always adds something more special to the Advent Activities. It's nice to have him home.

Advent Activity Day 14: Put Together the Gingerbread House

 It started off well, and then it collapsed. We tried propping it up with toothpicks and holding it while the icing hardened, but there was no use. Our Gingerbread House crumbled! In the end, SS took the piece that was meant to be a tree, and turned it into a rocketship. DD (dear daughter), took one of the gingerbread men and some jujubes and turned it into a creepy old woman with a walker.

So, it was in the end a success. We arranged the house so it wouldn't fall over (with the roof as the walls), and took our finishing picture. It was fun!
