Gingerbread house

For weeks Isaac has been asking me every time we enter a store for a ginger bread house.  I happened to mention this as the planning for black friday shopping was in a frenzy at mom and dad's and of course the next day Isaac has a ginger bread house.  Great!!! idea, Nana and Em.  It actually turned out to be quite fun to see how excited Isaac was over the building, and decorating of the house.  It was toooo delicate for a four year old to assemble (let's be honest it was too delicate for any of us to assemble correctly) so he was a little bummed about that, and then it had to dry and he was a little bummed about that.  But then came the decorating and he LOVED that.  It now sits safe and sound on the highest shelf we have, and he checks on it often.  Today he asked me,"can I watch the ginger bread house."  So cute, Thank you Nana and Em for quite the experience and making Isaac's day!!

The beginning...Isaac holding the roof as a wall and Nana reading the directions.

Me pointing out that what we thought were walls...were actually the roof.  start over!

This is where it was starting to get comical.

There it is...I still can't believe we got it to stand up.

Sure...Seth helps with the easy part!!
