Gingerbread House

At the beginning of the month the kids and I made this Gingerbread House. It has become some what of a tradition and its a lot of fun. The kids and Dave want to destroy the house as soon as its done but I make them wait at least one week before starting to pick all the candy off of it. I hate seeing it destroyed since it takes quite some time to finish it... but it looks pretty and its good to get the kids to get their chores done. I hate that it never turns out as nice as the one pictured on the box.
