We have one of those gingerbread houses, too. Merry Christmas.
Tom,
I hope yours came out better than ours!

My twenty-something daughter, who made it for her piano students a while back, is very detail-oriented. I doubt that she had as much fun doing it as you all did! I bet your kids will remember that gingerbread house for the rest of their lives.

We used to make gingerbread houses when the kids were young. We got better as they got older, but the first ones, like yours, are precious to remember. Enjoy!
Would appreciate an email on another subject. Thank you.
Looks like they had great fun making it.
Enjoy
