What a lovely experience! I've never built a gingerbread house before, and neither has my partner, but seeing this I felt the desire to buy a kit ourselves and give it a try. Looks like you guys had a blast doing this Christmassy activity. Family material, am I right? Wishing you guys all the happiness.
One thing I can't wrap my head around, how can you not eat the house? I might have to bend the rules a bit if I ever get to do this. There's no way I'm not eating my house when it's done! Hahaha
The whole process really is a lot easier than I imagined it to be. Just have to be patient and careful not to break any of the main pieces of the house. This will surely be a great memory for you and yours to make together.
I guess I just tell myself that eating the house is like eating glue... Although in this case, the clue is icing. I have never eaten my crafts in the past, why start now? I also have to worry about the fact that @flowerbaby would be sad if the house disappeared before Christmas got here. By the time the holiday arrives, the sugary treats will be stale.
