Gingerbread House for the Fourth Little Pig

This has been the best Christmas season. Ben has been into making all sorts of stuff. Today we made a Gingerbread House. From the start, Ben knew he was going to get to eat some candy. I wasn't so sure we would have enough candy for decorating it...but we did.

He started off by licking the icing off of the mixer.

I couldn't resist getting a picture with the 'evidence' on his face. This Gingerbread House will drive his daddy crazy...It will be in the trash on Dec. 26! We will enjoy it on the dining room table until then.
