Gingerbread House Making

So my friend Sarah gave me a gingerbread house for Christmas (btw, obsessed with gingerbread houses) and my brother and I made, come on the epic journey with us...

Our materials

Frosting the pieces of the house together

Frosting the roof tile things

Cutting up the candy to smash into door and window material

Taking a checkers break

Frosting on top of the door

Decorating the windows

Tada! The front is almost done

Adding the peppermint sticks to the corners of the house

Frosting the eaves 

Frosting icicles! 

Putting swirls...

...on the roof

Making the candy pathway

Adding candy canes gate things

TADA! IT IS FINISHED

VOILA! 

SO CUTE!

Kinda sloppy

OH WELL!

Hey look, my shirt

So, yes, that was our gingerbread house, I hope you liked it :)
