Gingerbread house

Nick has always wanted to make a gingerbread house. Finally, this year, I caved and bought one of those $10 kits at the grocery. It was pretty miserly; six pieces of stale cookie, a tube of white frosting "glue," and two tiny bags of candy for decoration. We did heavy construction on the day after Thanksgiving. I had to supplement the kit with another four colors of frosting (highly recommend the "easy cheese" pressurized can of decorating frosting) and two bags of candy. Here is the final product, including Santa getting ready to slide down the chimney.
