Gingerbread houses in the making

I didn't have much to contribute when it came to Christmas dinner so I thought I'd make a couple of gingerbread houses.

I gave one to Dorothy and Ivan and kept the one with the most MnM's for John's nephews.

Unfortunately the climate here doesn't treat pepparkakshus well. The icing got mixed with the sugar (used for glueing the sides together) and made it brown in colour. Kind of like dirty snow..

After dinner I hopped on the train to Sydney as I was meeting Annie and her friend at Central station and then driving to Kanangra walls to go hiking in the Blue Mounatins for three days.
