My poor gingerbread house

So, first off, yes, I realize I am long overdue for an update. And, yup, christmas is over whether you count it as one day or 12. It has been a crazy past few months and thankfully things are getting back to normal!

I was given the task of making a gingerbread house. Not as easy as it looks. I could not get the frosting right. Then, since I did not read the directions, I put the roof where the walls should be and vice versa. Since I messed up the frosting, I could take it apart and put it back together several times. But I could not get it to set up either. On the box it looked like a lovely chateau. Mine looked so sad I put the gingerbread man on top as if ready to jump from his nearly condemned abode.




Here is how it is supposed to look. Notice the happy gingerbread homeowners!




You'll notice mine looks a little different, and Gingy, does not seem as proud.



My dad mentioned the gaps and how it would not keep anyone warm.



Whether it was the cold or the humiliation, Gingy jumped. And then got eaten by a cat.
