Christmas in Florida

Leah was so excited to make this gingerbread house!

She thought that she was going to make one at school, because her sisters did when they were in 3rd grade. She was quite disappointed that she didn't, so...

Leah and Daddy made one at home. They had a good time building and decorating the house (and eating the candy!) If you've never made one of these gingerbread houses, it's very time consuming, because you have to wait between each section of the project for the icing to dry. Since we live in Florida and missed out on the "White Christmas" we had been dreaming of, Leah passed the time by jumping on the trampoline with the water hose to keep cool. :)

She came through the house every so often to check on the progress and add a little to her masterpiece.

The end result was worth every bit of the wait though. Good job, Leah!
