My first experience with a real gingerbread house! I'm sure for Megan, it's beautiful and wonderful and all that it should be. I, on the other hand, was up to my elbows in gingerbread house icing, sticky from head to foot, and feeling nothing but frustration because the house wasn't "perfect"! I know, I know, it's about the experience and the joy the little ones feel over a house covered in candy. So, I pushed through, finished the project after 2 hours squeezing icing through a 1/4 in. hole, and now it sits beautifully on the china hutch for all to see. Yes, even the 2 year olds have been admiring it from the vantage point of a chair pushed up the edge...I'm sure they've even snagged a piece of candy or two! But that's the fun of it, right???
