Yesterday Tate tried his hand at making his first gingerbread house. I wasn’t very adventurous and just bought a very easy to assemble kit. Next year maybe I’ll try something a little bit more difficult!

Initially all Tate wanted to do was eat the gingerbread and the candy, but once he realised what he was supposed to be doing, he really got into it and quite enjoyed himself. The question is, how long will it last before Tate decides he HAS to eat some?

Here is a look at our adventures in making a gingerbread house:

Very important! Tate and I reading the instructions together.

Candy placement was all Tate’s idea.

Now to show off the final masterpiece:

Proud of our achievement.
