After having dinner at our favorite Greek restaurant the other night, Craig, the girls and I ran into Toys R Us and picked out a Gingerbread kit. Not just any Gingerbread Kit… a Wonka Gingerbread Kit! With Runts, Nerds, SweetTarts, and Bottlecaps. Mmmmmmmmm… I LOVE Bottlecaps!
The girls have been beside themselves waiting for the chance to decorate the cottage.
They are already deciding which candies they plan on eating putting on the house first…
Enough already, when are we going to build and decorate this house?!
Here’s the kit… Let the fun eating decorating begin.
Waiting patiently while Daddy reads the directions.
Laying out all the pieces.
Excuse me while I disappear with the Bottlecaps… no one will miss them.
Construction begins!
Wow, Daddy is a super Gingerbread Cottage builder!
Raising the roof…
Letting it set…
Decorations, a.k.a. the candy buffet.
The girls loved decorating the cottage. Olivia probably ate a 1/4 pound of the 1/2 pound of candy that came with the kit.
How pretty!
Adding some finishing touches.
Daddy, trying to decide if it needs anything else…
he then decides to mix all remaining Nerds with the frosting and glop it on the top of the house… not a bad idea.
Yummylicious!
The girls were so proud of it.
Pretending to eat it…
That was SOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!

I'm so jealous! I may be in my 30s, but I want to make a gingerbread house. Only thing is my husband hates them.
Your family is too cute for words!
GREAT tradition!! :)
