Gingerbread Architecture

Today I was supposed to go to a hockey game but it didn't work out so Megan came over and we went out. During dinner we decided it would be fun to watch Elf and make a gingerbread house.

So we headed over to Cost Plus and let me tell you, I love that store. I think we spent close to an hour wandering around in there. But we found lots of things we would want for Christmas and I found the perfect reading chair. I've wanted a reading chair for my room for probably two years now. I like reading in my room but reading in bed messes up my sleep patterns and doesn't help my insomnia. I'm thinking if I had a comfy chair to read in that would be great. It's only $300! Ya, I don't think I'll be getting it this Christmas but whatever.

So we got back to my house and watched Elf (I forgot how much I like this movie) and constructed a cute gingerbread house. And what it lacks in finesse we made up for with love! However, I ended up with frosting everywhere...on my arms, on my phone and on my forehead. Really not sure how that happened.

But look how great it turned out! It's too cute to eat so it will be the start of my Christmas decorations. I can't wait to get a tree!
