Harder than it Looks

I've never in my life made a gingerbread house but its a tradition I've wanted to start with my kids. This is the first year we've been home long enough to do it plus we got one in the mail from Grandma today! Cali took a very long nap today and I knew she'd be up late anyway so after we put D to bed we tried it out. It sure is harder than I would've guessed. She was so eager to start sticking the candy on and it was a bit complicated to fit all the pieces so we just did the roof and went from there. You can tell she loved it. When we were done we had to sing a few rounds of "Happy Birthday" and blow out the "candles" (aka gumdrops).
