Wellinton: Day 15 by Sol
Dec 11
Today we decided to stay home, but we made a gingerbread house and some cookies. They gilrs were excited, but they didn’t realize there’s a process to follow:
- Meassure everything in the recipe
- Make the dough
- Chill the dough
- Make the patterns
- Bake them
- Cool them
- Paste and glue them, then wait until they dry
- Then the fun part: decorate the house
Saraí from step one wanted to make the gingerbread man. She actually made from the day before the pattern for the gingerbread man and the snow man.
I measured everything and they made all the mixture, they had turns each one to add something. They rolled out the dough for their cookies and decorated the house with the glue (icing). Raquel ate alot of dough, Saraí and I kept saying “don’t eat that”, she said “yes”, and kept eating.
At first I thought the walls were too thin, but thank god they weren’t. The girls did a great job. Raquel kept eating the glue, of course you can see her work on the house, the decorations with a lot of white icing. They had a blast, the only thing left now are the walls without a roof.
Congratulations little fairies. You build your own Gingerbread house in N. Z. I am very proud of you. Having such a wonderful experience will be unforgettable and something to remember during your whole life. The trip, tours, family together, learning, culture, etc. Vivan los Lizama-Mugica!!!
Another mistake. Ooops! You built… not “build”. Well at least it seems that I am not as busy as you.
Los amo,
Linda (Mami, abilita Nina)
The house looks great! I hope Raquel didn’t get tummy sick from all the sweets. =)
That’s a beautiful house!
Those candies look perfects on the ginger house!
My granddaughters are expert in design!
I love you!!!
