Wonky Christmas

This year I took it up a notch. The usual Costco gingerbread house kit was not for me. 

I was going to make a truly homemade gingerbread creation, on the most humid day of the year,

in the middle of a rainstorm, under a waterfall.

So it turned out pretty wonky, no?

Jack, Elizabeth, and I used our super-engineering skills 

to buttress the warping walls with much candy.

The icing slid a bit lot.

I figure it's a good lesson for my perfectionist son to see his mom, the "artist," 

satisfied with a creation that is most definitely imperfect.

He figures candy tastes good no matter how it looks.

He's right.
