Our one-of-a-kind gingerbread...courtyard


This weekend, we made our annual gingerbread house. We got a fully assembled, ready-to-decorate kit that promised to come out looking like this:





But when we opened the box, the house was broken. We tried to glue the roof back together with icing. 



But it wasn't working. I kept thinking, I hope this isn't a metaphor for my life.
We added more and more icing, and held as still as we could, but it just didn't stick.



We decided to make the best of it and do our own thing.



The good thing about going roofless is you get to decorate inside too.

  
We even rolled out the red carpet.




 And invited in some Christmas friends.



Maybe this isn't such a bad metaphor after all.
