Ginger Bread House

Our family holiday activity tonight, according to the punch calendar, was driving or walking around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights.  However since it was snowing like crazy and 3 degrees tonight, we switched to making a ginger bread house, which was supposed to be a few nights later, but we already had all the supplies.

None of us had ever made a ginger bread house before.  Actually in truth, we bought the kit at Costco, so it's not like we made one, we just did the fun part of decorating it.  We vow that next year we'll try and make one from scratch, hopefully.

Anyway, the kids didn't complain.  Dan did most of the frosting and they helped affix and eat the candy pieces.  It was pretty easy and pretty enjoyable for everyone really.

Also, while they were doing this, I made a key lime cheesecake.  I've never made a cheesecake before.  It was pretty easy and turned out really tasty.
