First McEachern Gingerbread House

Wow! Was this an experience! Last night,we read The Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett. The girls were not that into it, however, I finished reading it while the girls played with Daddy. I got this bright idea to buy a gingerbread house so we could make it all together. It was a lot of fun but a very big mess. Ella and Ava used half of the candy to decorate and the other half found it's way to their mouths! It was fun to watch them try and put the candy on without getting icing all over their hands. That didn't last too long after they tasted the icing! Here are a few pictures of the event:o)
