Last year, Garyldine had an extra gingerbread house kit that she gave us. We didn't use it last year, but it came in awfully handy this year when we had no other gingerbread house supplies.
After we made our gingerbread dough for cookies and was letting it chill, we took out the gingerbread house and started to decorate it. We weren't very good with the frosting piping bag. Neither of us had ever used one, which was part of the problem. We ended up just laughing at ourselves and making the best of it.
There was one broken part on the roof, so...
...the first thing I did was to reattach it with frosting.
I wanted to put the light decorations on the edge of the roof, but we couldn't get the frosting to stick, so we let the frosting stick wherever it would, and we just added decorations where the frosting wanted to land.
It was looking better than I thought it would, but we were still laughing!
From a distance, it didn't look bad at all!
We put the year in front of the house because we thought it was a very fitting house for 2020.
We had to make sure to take pictures of every side.
We decided to do a small tree decoration on this side.
The best part of the house was how much laughing we did completing it.
Thanks for providing the house, Garyldine!
