From scratch Gingerbread House!!
I did it- i finally did! I made my very own Gingerbread House from scratch! This is the steps. I guess it's best to wait a week. My lovely neighbor gave me the recipe and said to let the pieces dry for a week or so before putting them together. So above and below: day 1
Below: day 5- I couldn't wait any longer! She also suggested using melted sugar to glue the pieces together. This isn't for the inexperienced (that's why I had such a hard time!) it makes a mess and eventually burns even off the heat. But it really does stick well! My other addition would be to use a knife or other straight cutting tool when cutting the pieces from dough, then straightening them once they are cooked and before they are dried out. My house was so lumpy!
Day 6- Gave up on the melted sugar and put the roof on with Royal frosting once the sides had dried. Dont try to put the roof on before the sides dry! What a mess! :) it doesn't take a day, i was just lazy~
Now the decorating! I made this a family event. Much more fun that way! Baby wasn't much help, but did enjoy the candy! Hmmm, we are bad parents! :)

End of School Year and New BABY!
Hey girls!
I just thought I'd give you all a quick update...
I had my little baby girl on Feb. 4! She got sick with RSV and had to go to the hospital for 2 weeks when she was 8 days old. I took an extended maternity leave and came back to school after spring break. For those of you who didn't know...I taught K-6 music full time at Amelia Earhart Elementary in Provo this last year. I LOVED IT! Anyways, I had a great year teaching, but I'm going to take the next few years off to take care of my little one! :) Here's some pictures of my "Pirate" classroom and of my little Merrilee Anne Brewer! Enjoy!
