Gingerbread House

Tim's mom wanted Tim to build a large (almost life-size) gingerbread house to put up for Christmas. It's finally done! Tim did most of the construction part and Pam pretty much did everything else. I think it turned out really good!


The roof is covered with Necco wafers (that Tim's mom cut out) and there is a row of gum drops on top. The window (which has a light inside at night) is lined with red hots. There are also planter boxes with mint candies and with poinsettias inside. The door is a grahm cracker. The rest I think you can figure out. It's about as tall as me, and all collapsable to be able to store.

  4. What a cute idea! Tim and Pam, you guys out for hire?! A full on real gingerbread house would be fantastic for entertaining my kids. Isaac's house is cute too. Poor Pace children. We need to invest in some wood and/or cardboard!

  5. Pretty cool house! My kids would probably try to eat it instead of play in it. Very creative I have to say. Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow.

  6. Now you know that when you guys get into a home, you can deck your yard out with cool stuff that Tim builds. That is such a talent. With your creativity and Tim's engineering skills, you guys are unstoppable.
