Christmas Game Night

Please sing to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree"

"Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, how yucky is your frosting
Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, it really is disgusting,
It's not that it just tastes gross,
but it is also worthless
Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, how yucky is your frosting."

Saturday was game night, we decorated gingerbread houses. We were all to lazy too make actual gingerbread. Most of us bought those kits from Wal-mart.
Let me just save you some wincing by telling you now that you should NOT taste the frosting that comes with the kit. It really does taste like glue, so just save yourself the trouble.
Also another good tip... do NOT line your WHOLE roof with skittles, as they are very heavy and the frosting that comes with the kit will NOT hold up under the pressure. As you can see the roof is sliding off as the picture is being taken. All the malt balls on top fell into the house later revived it by resorting to HOT GLUE!! Yup I can always count on my trusty glue gun to get the job done!!
After the roof fiasco I took a quick shot to show off our handy work.

But the rest of the gingerbread houses were pretty much amazing.

Take a look at Josh and Megan's Pentagon replica.

It even has a courtyard in the center of it and although you can't see them very well... my personal favorites are the "Santa" guards and the Santa sniper on the roof who used pretzels as machine guns.

I just realized that I didn't get pictures of the other two houses all finished so you will have to settle for "in the process" pictures

Andi and Curtis having a little fun. They by far had the best fence which was made out of pretzels and frosting which looked like snow.

Greg and Jessica just getting started. Theirs looked wunderbar when they were finished.
