Stalking the Gingerbread Man...and his house

Sydnie has been waiting ALL season to make our annual gingerbread house. OH, they're nothing fancy...pre-made kit (gotta love Costco) and we're ready to go! We finally got the thing built and candied up this week, and she has been stalking it ever since! I'll find her in the kitchen with a stool pulled up to it and she is studying it...while licking her lips. She'll sneak a frosting icicle every once in a while, but it is killing her that all of that candy is just sitting there...a sweet, holiday torture for a three year old! So, finally today I told her we'd take a picture of the house, and then she could "look" at it without me giving her such a hard time. We didn't even make it through the photo shoot before she was salivating...sorry gingerbread man, I'm afraid your house is doomed!

You are 100% insane! 3:00 in the morning baking goodies?!? I love the days of Christmas blogs - you're neighbor gifts are adorable! So fabulous! And Tea LOVED Syd's gingerbread house - she had to look at each detail and then compare it to what she had done to hers. So funny! How can one not love this time of year!?!
