Day 1 of Gingerbread House-Making











This past weekend we made gingerbread houses for the first time. We got kits on sale on Black Friday. In the future we'd start earlier, I should have taken out the instructions and read them beforehand. You do the first part, than wait an hour, then the second part and wait 2-3 hours, which makes sense, you have to wait for the icing/glue to dry before it's sturdy enough to continue. But I didn't think that far ahead. Laura made hot chocolate from the recipe on the cocoa container and added candy canes. I didn't bother to measure and straighten the pieces of gingerbread first, and it wasn't a big deal, you just use extra icing.
