Poor gingerbread house- stood no chance!!

So we found a gingerbread house at Sam's Club on Christmas sell and thought it would be fun to make one for FHE. So we picked it up. As we started to make it we had troubles from the get go. The walls of the house where not even, one of the roof pieces had a major bow in the cookie and McKinley only wanted to eat the candy. Guess that's what we get for a on sale item. As you can tell from the pics below we got the house built but then the problems started.

The roof and side wall of the house started to slide. The frosting was not strong enough to hold the bowed roof and the wall, that was just not made properly by the frosting Masons (crappy work don't recommend them).

Then everything went down. Like I said the wall and roof, then everything else just came down. We were all laughing so hard that we did not try to stop it. All that was left standing was the poor gingerbread man home owner. Man good thing he is a cookie or we might have a major court battle on our hands.

Demolition was oh so sweet! McKinley continued to eat the candy and I started on the gingerbread walls. Although I only got through one piece before throwing it away. It was for the best to clean up quickly because we are horrible gingerbread house makers. Hide all the evidence so there is no proof. At least McKinley liked it and Tait well he just sat there and laughed when we did. It was a good time.

Next year we will have to start earlier and make one that holds up and can show off.
