Peanuts - Charlie Brown Gingerbread House Kit

Friday, December 2nd: With AA's golfing schedule much lighter, waiting for her knee appointment, we are having time to do a few more things than normally. Friday, AA stayed after school with the Chemistry Club to make slime with friend Alexis (who invited her). We also will go to the Green Cove Springs Christmas Tree lighting and parade on Saturday evening as she is not playing in the NFJG golf tournament on Sunday (normally, we would stay home, quiet night before a tournament). 

I purchased a gingerbread kit for Alyzabeth, we don't build one every year, saw this Peanuts one in Walmart. AA decided that today, Friday was a good time to build it.

I picked up an extra white icing tube (8 oz.) and some ready made sugar snowmen cupcake decorations. From what I remembered in the past, the kit white icing was never enough. 
This kit's icing was a very good "glue/cement" for building the house structure. The icing I bought was more for the extra "snow" on the house (it was a bit thinner and stayed a bit softer than the kit icing).
The box came with cardboard cut-outs of the peanut characters which added some color to the house.
We followed the directions and did need to hold the house walls, then the roof together for 5 minutes; once it was sturdy, the decorating began. The kit icing is a square bag, one cuts the tip off one corner to use; it didn't work very well as it was not a round tip, made for more mess than my store bought icing which came with two tip options, round and star.

Done! And yummy (AA will begin eating tomorrow!).
