Ginger Bread stories



Last year Bob, Reuben, and I went to Dallas Texas for a few days. We saw huge gingerbread people and houses. Here are a few pictures...









This year, the kids wrote stories, poems, and descriptions of awesome gingerbread houses. Yum!


The Gingerbread House

By Jonas


I was walking down the road on a wintery day. Snow fell softly. I loved going on walks because then I could look at all the different houses and floor plans. Then, I froze. I had seen an actual Gingerbread HOUSE! My mouth was wide open, and my eyes were as big as saucers. The walls of the house were made of gingerbread bricks, and each brick was held in place by vanilla frosting. The fence was made of licorice, and the walkway leading up to the house was made of Oreos lined by gumdrops. The front door was made of a huge stick of gum, and the windowsills were made of Smarties. The shingles on the roof were made of Hershey's chocolate bars, and the chimney was made of Starbursts. The snow that fell in the yard turned to sugar the moment it touched the ground. I stood staring at the house for 15 minutes. Then, I saw the For Sale sign.
Two weeks later, I was living in that amazing Gingerbread House. It was everything I could have dreamed of. I was warm all winter because of the Cotton Candy insulation. The stairs inside were made of Crunch chocolate bars. The kitchen was spacious, there was an attic and a basement. Best of all, whenever I wanted a snack, all I had to do was take a bite of the fence in the front yard or the "snow" covering everything.

The ginger bread house

By Troy

We were making a ginger bread house. The roof was made of brownies, the fence was made of lollipops, the door was made out of a giant Hershey’s bar, of course the walls were made of ginger bread, the door knobs were made of Smarties, the grass was out of green frosted coconut, and the snow was made of Fun dip. I wish I could live in that house.

Cute :)
I'm afraid I would freeze in the house Jonas described, because I would eat all the cotton candy insulation!
