Holly's Gingerbread House

Tonight me and Holly got a bit creative and built and decorated our 2018 gingerbread house. Disappointingly the kit didn't have any icing or sweets, so Tina knocked up some icing for us and me and Holly nipped around the shops to buy some Smarties. Whilst the house ended up very brightly decorated with Smarties, I am sure Holly ate more than what she stuck on the house. We might have also overdone it a little with the icing sugar snow! Still we had fun and that's all that matters.

The gingerbread house is nearly constructed and ready to start decorating.

I iced the house whilst Holly got to work eating Smarties, I mean sticking the Smarties on!

Holly said the roof was a rainbow pattern.

Starting to look very impressive.

Ta-dah, the finished ginger bread house.

Using up the left over icing by squirting it on the roof as snow.

A little but of writing around the outside of the house.

And then a sprinkling of icing sugar snow before Holly wants to start tucking in.

It didn't take Holly long to start eating Smarties off of it and half the chimney has disappeared.
