The EPIC Gingerbread House

Michelle and I started this and worked on it while Nadia was sleeping over the course of two and a half days. We started with the Wilton GIANT gingerbread house kit. It came with icing and assorted candies. We went to Target and added Red Vines, M&M’s and Mike and Ike’s to the mix. Michelle did multiple sketches until she was satisfied with her decorating plan while the basic construction was drying. Then we went to work. ***And we want to give Mike credit for the awesome bow tie he made for the dad!

Michelle worked hard on the wreath and the grass surrounding the house. She also created the masterpiece that was the walkway. The kids are having fun playing football on a snowy day. I did most of the piping and my palm has finally quit hurting after going through all that icing. HA HA! We had a great time and I really want this to be a tradition to do every year, but Nadia and I are going to do the small kit next year for her first try 🙂

And Michelle reminded me below that the families name is The Schmorgosborgonsons.
