Our gingerbread house

Temperatures were in the 20s today (and will stay there tomorrow), so we could only play outside for short periods at a time.  During our indoor time, we constructed and decorated our gingerbread house.  Josh and Lucas each got to decorate one front/back panel, one side panel, and one roof panel.  Mom and Dad got to try to put the whole thing together without breaking the panels, knocking off the barely-secured decorations, or crushing the icing parts.  It took some work.
 
But our finished product is so cute!


 
The green stars and hearts are made from fondant.  John cut the shapes using Lucas's Pop Chef, which THRILLED Lucas.  He loves that thing. 

 
Yes, one panel went down.  Nothing a little extra frosting couldn't (sort of) fix.
