The other day while in Asheville we stumbled upon some of the Gingerbread houses from the big annual contest at the Grove Park Inn. Sarah Beth was delighted. So when I saw a Gingerbread House kit at Trader Joe's today, I jumped all over it.
I got home and showed her the box. Open it Mom! Ok. I was as excited as she was. I mixed up the batch of frosting (the last time EVER I beat an egg white stiff with a hand whisk) and we began construction. The icing was a little sloppy but we managed to get it together.

Sarah Beth had the most fun decorating her house. She didn't even try
to eat the candy...yet. Now that's dedication to her craft. Here she is "cooperating" for a picture. Sort of.
Cooperation fizzled out quickly. I am hoping she doesn't wake up at the crack of dawn and slowly sneak decorations off the roof. I better count the candies before I go to sleep tonight, just in case.
oh i love it!!! i am glad you mentioned how hard it was to work up that egg white. it took me forever and i finally gave up!!
