Kaitlyn went to a Ginger bread event at the local library sponsored by the Georgia Cyber Academy (her home school program). Everyone who went brought a gingerbread house they decorated.
We built her ginger bread house around a gold fish box that we cut to make it the right size. After we cut the gold fish box, we measured the sides and top, then made a paper pattern for the walls and roof. Then we rolled out the ginger bread, and put the pattern on the rolled dough and cut out the peices. Then we baked them in the oven, and let them cool. While they were baking and cooling, we made Royal Icing out of egg whites and powdered sugar. Once the peices of the house were cooled, we got to work.
Alan and Sarah also wanted to make a ginger bread house even though they couldn't go the home school event. So after they got home from school, they made their houses too.

They're now on display in our house. (Except for Kaitlyn's which we designated as the one we could eat. :)
