Here is our production. Pumpkin made the man on the left. I made the gingerbread woman in the middle. It is supposed to be a blue skirt she is sporting. Peanut made the man on the right. Can you see the jersey number one? It all comes back to sports with him.
Here is the front of the house. Peanut decorated the snowman in LSU colors noting the purple and gold. The dad who did not want to participate decorated the man on the right. There is some creativity deep down inside him!
Here is the close up of the one made by the big guy. It took some persuasion to get him to put the Outside magazine down. Can you imagine?
Here is the LSU snowman. The icing is a bit thick!!
Then, the most surprising thing happened. We do live on the Madris fault line. We actually carry earthquake insurance on our residence - just in case. Our real house was not affected, but the Gingerbread house seemed to experience some sort of disaster. The boys tried to save it. All their efforts just made it worse. Don't worry! They weren't too sad. They had a ball with all the icing and candy. It was great entertainment.
I was going to use the house for a centerpiece for my lunch on Monday. I am going to have to come up with something else as the house is now out in the big green thing with wheels!
I do think it is nights like these where the memories will be priceless. We are off to bed. Here's to sugar plum fairies dancing in our dreams!

That is actually very funny!!! Who would ever think that a gingerbread house would be toppled by an earthquake??! I think most of the fun is in the decorating anyways, though it did look really nice. You should have left it and just told your friends the whole story!
