I finally gave in when they went on sale.
We tried to make it on Saturday.
It was a disaster.
The roof kept sliding off and the sides kept falling in.
We thought it was finally set up and let the kids put candy on it.
The weight of the candy made the roof start sliding again.
I made the kids quickly take a picture of our attempt.
Seconds before the roof slid off.
And the other side of the roof caved in.
We all watched it fall to pieces.
And then we ate it. The gingerbread was still soft and the candy still fresh. So it wasn't all a disaster.
I think we will just stick to small grahm cracker houses from now on.

we gave up on frosting this year and used hot glue so we could decorate - it worked great!!
looks yummy!!
If you melt white sugar it melts into some great glue! It is very very very hot and burns like crazy if you tough it but it sets in about 30 seconds. It is great for graham crackers! We do it all the time at the center. If you us a frying pan it is easier to dip the crackers into. FYI
Merry Christmas
Our house we made did the absolute exact same thing...the roof slide right off.
