FHE/Birthday Party/Gingerbread Houses

We had a little FHE party for Rebecca for her Birthday. We had a wonderful lasagna Dinner. Jer made his famous lasagna. Stephanie made all the side. We had a fun little party. We played Christmas Bing, Balloon wars, and had Cake and Ice Cream. We also attempted to make gingerbread houses. I said Attempted. I failed miserably. Story to come at end of post. Here we are all ready for our balloon war. Who is going to win???

Playing Christmas bingo, The winner gets a yummy candy bar.

I know you are all jealous of this picture. I can't believe Jer took it. Oh my gosh this just sums up the whole Gingerbread house night. We planned on making 2 Gingerbread houses and one Christmas tree. Kayden, put the Christmas tree together. He did a fantastic job. I was so proud of him. He just put the icing on and made the cutest tree. I forgot to take a picture of the finished project. We sent it home with the Birthday Girl.

Okay so Stephanie made the icing and lets just say it was super runny,(She followed the directions.)but it made the icing sooo runny. The icing ran down Stephanie's shirt all over her hands. We were laughing so hard. The silly walls and roof wouldn't stay on. It was crazy. I wanted to throw in the towel. The kids were being so patient waiting for their Gingerbread house. Rebecca started reading them a story to keep them busy while we tired to get the house to stick. Yeah no such luck, I was so frustrated!!! GRRRRR

oh this is so funny!!! The icing is going everywhere. But man we are having a blast.

Maybe this way will work, then again maybe not!!!

Okay we called in our Birthday girl for some help. Yeah still no luck. GRRR These darn Gingerbread houses. They have never been this difficult. We put one together every year. What is the problem????

So tonight Stephanie brings me a little treat. My very own Gingerbread House.check out Stephanie's master piece. She stayed up until 2am finishing This Gingerbread House. It's amazing, look at all the detail, can you see the gummy tree? She worked so hard on this Gingerbread house. She would/could win any competition out there. Can you believe she gave it to me? I was so finished with the gingerbread houses. They were not working, it was almost 9pm. My kids should have been in be an hour ago. I was so frazzled and ready to go home. I just left all the candy and all the supplies and houses at her house. I was like have fun.

She built it, decorated it, and gave it to me.

Wow Stephanie you are amazing.!!! I would have been like you snooze you loose.

I love my Gingerbread house. Thanks so much...
