Merry Christmas ! Read how my daughter almost ruined the Gingerbread house..

Merry Christmas !!!

I know the year has been turbulent for most people and I think this year has been one of these years nobody can ever forget, no matter how they lived through the pandemic. For each and every one of us, it's been a year with questions, not knowing what the future will bring and how long this is going to last exactly.

I hope every person reading this will find their light and stay as positive as they can be, sending out good vibrations to those that are struggling mentally and/or physically. I know it can be hard and challenging, but let's take a moment to think about the little things in life we should appreciate and be grateful for those. This has helped me cope during the pandemic and I hope it works for others as well.

Christmas eve was busy for us Santa-helpers. We had to label all the gifts and pack the magic wand I made for our daughter. She wanted one for a while and I decided to make one for her, it wasn't finished until yesterday, so I almost forgot to pack it as the other gifts were already packed and labeled. I won't spoil the fun in this post, there will be a tutorial of this craft, as I think it's definitely worth it!

Gingerbread house icing thief

I also wanted to share this (now) funny thing my daughter did two days ago. I was pretty angry as I spent so many hours on the house already, but at the same time, both my boyfriend and I couldn't stop laughing either as we envisioned how she was secretly enjoying loads of sugar!

Trying to restore the icicles on the house:

You can imagine how that felt that morning, waking up seeing this.. There was little untouched and I had to reconstruct most parts of the house (the icing parts). At this point, I was so glad that I glued the parts of the house together because I'm quite sure it could have collapsed when she was trying to break off the icing.

Luckily, I had plenty of icing left and decided not to be grumpy all day and just fix it. She felt sorry and her sugar rush wasn't as bad as I expected when I saw the amount of icing missing. All ended well :)

For now, enjoying family time and tonight having a nice Christmas dinner!

Merry Christmas!
