Gingerbread Houses

Years ago when Kelsey was just a baby, I went to a Pampered Chef party and picked up a mold for a gingerbread house. I totally bought into the vision of making my own gingerbread for my kids. I had fantasies of gorgeous works of gingerbread art gracing our home. I thought each piece would be lovingly decorated, transforming ordinary gingerbread into gorgeous works of art.

The reality is that my girls would rather eat the gingerbread than decorate it, and Drew would prefer to eat the decorations rather than "waste" them on the house. So, Drew decided to go for the minimalist look this year. Believe it or not, this is his finished product.
