This is the story of Mark and myself decorating a gingerbread house.  This is something I have always wanted to do.  I now consider it a once in a lifetime experience because I will never do it again – never say never – I would do it again with a grandchild in a heartbeat if we are blessed with one or more of those little gems.

Mark and I bought the kit for $10.00 at Walmart.  We had a blast.  He even cut some of the candies and made them into little evergreens.  Mark decorated the back of the house (he outlined his path with yellow gumdrops and put a flower on the wall to the right of the back door – yes it IS too a flower – he told me so) and I decorated the front (wreath above the door and a white trash sidewalk).  We both did the rest together. We laughed until I almost cried because really, it looks like a third grader did it (no offense to third graders because they could probably do better).

Enjoy the pics and hold your laughter!
