Gingerbread Houses!!
This past week for FHE Holly really wanted to make Gingerbread houses. Monday was really hectic with school and work, so we decided to do it Tuesday night. Jake got some tickets from work to go to the Utah Flash game that night, so as soon as we figured out the Flash management scammed us about Michael Jordan being there, we left (and we were pretty irate too!) On our way home we stopped over at Wal-Mart to get all the essentials. Jake had never made Gingerbread houses before, so this was going to be a real treat for him. Holly showed him all the right things to get.
Jake was pretty excited to get things going.
Holly showed Jake a crazy neat technique to ensure greatest stability possible: use a hot glue gun to secure the gingerbread foundation! What a great idea!!
Jake creating the roof of chocolate chips! Also note the tree in the background. Our decoration really help to put us in the Christmas spirit!
Holly telling Jake " You see Mr. Higgins, this is how a gingerbread house is done!" I love my wife, she is the best!!

Sweet! We made decorated gingerbread houses last night. And yes, we used hot glue to secure the foundation first. (We learned that trick from our smart mom!) It was fun. I will post pictures of our house later today. Love you 2.
Whoa, two posts in one week? Good job!! The house turned out way cute. Way to go!
