Domestic Family Dining: Gingerbread House

Gingerbread House

Last year, Angelina made a gingerbread wreath (from a kit). The gingerbread, frosting and candies must have been a couple years old because they tasted horrible! Definitely NOT edible ... although my kids would have tried if I hadn't been afraid of teeth breaking. However, she had a great time with the kit and it was a fun decoration on our table.

While in town yesterday, I saw a kit for a gingerbread house and, on a whim, I purchased it for Angelina.

This kit is newer and says that the gingerbread house is edible ... if eaten within two weeks. The kids plan to eat it after we return from Grandma and Grandpa Golden Acres' farm. We'll see how good it tastes after that long!

Chock full of sugar ... a kid's dream concoction!
