Tom bought a gingerbread house kit at Costco and we put it together for family night. Well, we really should have read the directions beforehand. Apparently you're supposed to let the frosting "glue" dry before putting the candy on. We didn't. The weight was too much for our little gingerbread house to bear. The roof started caving in, so we propped it up with gingerbread men.
Eventually the whole thing fell in on itself and we were forced to eat it. Tragedy! I know, it's horrible. Here are some pictures to help illustrate my little story. You can see the gap in the roof and the four supportive gingerbread men. They tried really hard, but failed and were unfortunately executed later by Sophie. She is a seasoned cookie executor, she shows no compassion to her victims.
