Our First Gingerbread House!








Unfortunately, quite a bad stomach virus hit our household this week. I had it first, then Natalie might have caught a touch of it (she only got sick once and was fine the rest of the day), but unfortunately, Daddy was the last to get it and it hit him the hardest. So last night I was kind of stir-crazy with Natalie so I decided to get a gingerbread house kit and do it with her. She was so cute with it. She had no interest in building the house but she really got into decorating it. After almost every piece she would say, "Tank-en mommy. Fun. Pretty." (translation- Thank you Mommy. (This is) Fun. (This is) Pretty." A few times she said "Pretty House".
Unfortunately, Natalie didn't understand the amount of pressure needed to put on the candies onto the house, so you will see from the pictures, it quickly fell apart. But we had a lot of fun doing it. Ironically Natalie never made the connection that any of it was food, so I didn't even have to worry about her eating too much!

Let Natalie (and Mommy and Daddy) know what you think!!
