Christmas in February

Eli’s Great Gran bought him a ginger bread house kit with the intentions of making it during our visit for Christmas.  It was so busy, I guess she forgot, so a few weeks ago, when Eli went to visit her, she gave him the kit.  He came home so excited about this house he was going to make.  He asked about it everyday till we finally found a time when Lucy would be asleep and we could get to work.  Those kits are work!  I guess I’ve never made one before, or at least that I can remember.  It was tricky keeping the icing in the bag and keeping the walls up long enough to let the icing set.  It was a rough start, but he didn’t notice.  He had a blast decorating it.  His excitement made it worth the effort.  Thanks for a great memory Great Gran!!
