Gingerbread House

The boys love our tradition of building a ginger bread house over the Christmas holiday. St. Nicholas brought us a gingerbread kit this year.  We were a little late in getting to our kit but it gave us something to do after Christmas.  The boys were very creative with the decorating.  We even were able to use some of our old candy (the candy corn for a fence).  The boys wanted to try the frosting and quickly realized that it taste like glue.  The boys were shocked to find out that it didn't taste like homemade cake frosting.  But, there was someone else that decided they liked the frosting.  A few days after we made out house, I noticed that some parts of the tree were missing.  I just figured that the boys had broken off the parts because they wanted to try the gingerbread.  I realized that I was wrong when I found Sophie with both front paws up on the counter and she was going to town on the house and anything else she could get her mouth on.  The boys were sad to learn that she ate our snowman that came with the house.  Poor frosty!  At least Sophie enjoyed our house!
