Gingerbread Party Dec. 27, 2007
I was so busy getting things
done for the holiday I failed to post how to get those
gingerbread houses together. I bet you did just fine without me
though.
These pictures below show my
husband assembling the gingerbread houses with the glue-gun. I
know this is not the conventional way of doing things....but
what the heck. Hot-glue is much faster and easier. The kids can
cover the glue with frosting later. He starts by using a square
to glue the first first corner. Keeping things square avoids
problems later. When gluing more parts in, it works better to
put the glue on the new piece and then place it in position and
hold it until the glue starts to stiffen.
Josh and Molly brought their
boys, Cole and Austin, for our party. Josh and my oldest son
are long-time friends. One look at Cole's face, pictured above
is enough to let you know:
1. He’s on a
sugar high.
2. Every dime spent on
candy and every minute spent on making these houses is
worth it!
