Gingerbread House WIN!

So I bought a 'fancy' gingerbread house this year...the deciding factor was that it came with gummies vs those hard candies (hello 3.5 and 2 yo). 

That was a month ago. We finally opened it and started what I was expecting to be a frustrating process.  I usually need 8 hands, 4 hours, and a lot of luck to even get the house to stay together! Well cue my 'fancy' gingerbread house...it had puzzle like pieces - like log houses.  This made it SUPER EASY to put together, which took the stress out of this tradition for me! The kids were *dying* to eat the gummies and icing and it only took me 5 min or so to get the house up and standing WITH.THE.ROOF.ON!!! Insanity! 

I split the icing into sandwich bags and cut one corner off so the boys each had their own icing bag. I also brought out some M&Ms (regular stay on better, peanut were a bit heavy for fresh icing).  For every candy that made it on the house, about 5 went into the kids mouths - it was perfect! 

Happy house building/snacking!
