Gingerbread house FAIL!

Before I get to the story which led to the title of this post, Sunday was a fun day that started off with a small trip to Michael's. I had to return a frame I had purchased but later found out I didn't need. I had to pick up some stuff for the finishing touches to some gifts I have left to wrap. I was able to get this picture of the fatty while I shopped. I'm really loving her hair without the bows or headbands. I love her messy bed hair, I don't even comb it sometimes...shhhh! don't tell my mom.

So now to my Gingerbread house story. I had picked up the kit at Michael's last month during the Black Friday sales. It was only $8 so it wasn't a big deal if it didn't turn out. Well when we started assembling it last night, it was just.not.happening. I tried making the frosting a lot thicker so that maybe it will help the cookies stick, but that was not working out. After an hour of trying I decided to bust out the glue gun. And whoa-la!

Okay my decorating skills aren't the best, but I wasn't the only one doing it. My little brother was helping. Total Fail.Next year I am just going to buy regular stuff and try to make it from that, if that doesn't work out. The glue gun will save the day. It's not like I am going to let the cupcake eat it.
