3rd Annual Trader Joe’s Gingerbread House

December 20, 2008 angie

Trader Joe's makes the most fabulous gingerbread house kit.  This is the 3rd year Elena and I have used it for our gingerbread house.  You can't beat $7.99 for a cute, easy-to-assemble kit.  One of these years I'm going to attempt a gingerbread house from scratch, but I'm no fool.  This is not the year for that nonsense.  Seriously, this house goes together in 5 minutes, and then it's ready to decorate.  Perfect for a 6-year-old who can't be bothered to let the house sit and harden before she starts coating every square inch of it with leftover Halloween candy.

Look at her piping away . . . a girl after my own heart.

My contribution was the pumpkin patch, to which Elena pointed out that pumpkins do not grow in the winter time.

I would pay $7.99 just for these people.

I'll just have one teensy nibble right here and then I'll leave it alone.  I swear.

After it was done we promptly put it on top of the piano.  It's the only place a certain toddler can't reach, though it's certainly not through lack of effort.  This is how he spends 90% of his waking hours:

He just pushes the Stokke wherever he wants to go.  Nothing is safe.  You can tell whether it's a good day or a bad day by what time the Stokke goes into time out (on top of the table).  Before 9 a.m?  Bad day.  After 2 p.m.?  Pretty good.  I give him 2 days before he figures out how to reach the gingerbread house.  At least we have pictures for posterity.
