GiNgErBrEaD hOuSeS!!!

Bri's mom knew that Brian and I are children at heart; so a week before Christmas we received a gingerbread train to make with Dave, Candace and Courtney. Our adventure began with dear Brian reading the instructions. Making a gingerbread train may seem easy at first, but as the gingerbread started to break in half and the frosting wouldn't become soft the task at hand seemed more difficult than imagined.















Luckily, we had our homemaker Candace by our side, with her handy husband Dave. He pulled out the hot glue gun and she whipped up some fresh frosting. With new tools in hand we were back on track. As we worked with one another our gingerbread train really started coming together.















After much frosting, gumballs, gumdrops and candy canes, our little train was about complete. We added a little powdered sugar for the snowfall affect and then we knew it was perfect! All that was left was for us to pose for the camera!!!

    I love that you hot glue gunned these.

    I love making gingerbread houses (this is the first year we've skipped)! Brad, however, does not....

    Yours turned out way cute!

    Lewis doesn't like making them either! If we lived up there, we would totally join you in gingerbread house making. We could even make it a competetion to make the guys more into it, and we'd win, of course! :)
