I have been wanting to do gingerbread houses for the longest time! It has been years since I have made some, so this year I insisted we made some, but it couldn't be any gingerbread houses. I wanted to actually make the gingerbread houses with homemade cutouts actually made from gingerbread cookies. So we got a recipe from spencer's mom and attempted to make them. Apparently there were some tricks to make the dough that would help the houses to be hard enough to stand…. So our attempt ended in failure. I was so embarrassed. All of the cookies were so flimsy that no one's house would stand up without collapsing in on itself. Oh well maybe next year…
Here are pics of the attempt/failure...

Savannah's attempt/ disaster
It was very messy business
Dylan's end result; he actually did pretty good (sorry for the sideways pic)

The whole crew!
