It's hard to get things done during the holiday season. Along with the regular holiday activities, our family has birthdays. So, sometimes the gingerbread house gets put off until Easter. But not this year. (At least we have good intentions that it will be a Christmas gingerbread house and not an Easter gingerbread house. This years house has been assembled and is just waiting for the decorations. It'll probably have to wait until Saturday. Tonight there is some last minute shopping that needs to get done. A package to get together for the post office tomorrow. Tomorrow night we have Megan's tutor coming and I have to pick up a ham and some other goodies for the office Christmas party. Thursday is Megan's Christmas concert. I love going to those concerts. They sound so amazing. AND Friday is Megan's 17th Birthday. She wants to go to the Admirals hockey game. SO, we won't have any time to decorate the gingerbread house until Saturday.
Last year we cheated and used glue guns to assemble the house. No worries. No one in this house eats that little gingerbread house. We just pick off the candies. And those are set into frosting, so we are okay. Otherwise it's assemble the house and wait until the next day to decorate. We used the glue gun again this year. Now just have to make the frosting...

No matter how often you use the term glue guns and gingerbread houses, I'm still going to laugh and be horrified at the same time. But that's okay, I know you enjoy the reaction so I'll give that to you.
I can't believe she's going to be 17, I feel incredibly old and need some chocolate to make myself feel better. Like they "say" in Harry Potter, it's very good for shocks to the system. Can't wait to see the gingerbread home in all its glory for real. Even with the hot glue mortar.
lol you crack me up. Glue guns for gingerbread houses. lol. I love them. I usually get one for me and one for the boys. Well technically one is for me and Logan and the other is Leo's. I won't eat one that Leo decorated/put together. That kid sneezes and does too many gross 4 year old things to eat after him.
Yep, laughing and feeling horrified all at the same time :) Seriously, it's a great idea. They are always very pretty to look at, but a bit hard for the teeth anyway
Well, if I'd known you could use a glue gun, I would have made one every year! duh
