Today was Brian's first rehearsal since Tuesday since he had a day off and then a snow day. We maybe have 2 inches of snow but it does not take much snow to shut down Seattle. Brian decided to make a gingerbread house since every Christmas since 2003 he has intended to make one but every year he has not gotten around to it. He feels he had a lot of pent-up gingerbread house energy and went very crazy. He recognizes the insanity, but seems to kind of like it. It is a very darling 2 story Tudor with a shredded wheat thatched roof. Last night when he was almost done with it around midnight it started collapsing. He was up until 2am working on the emergency reinforcement. Crazy.
The windows are caramelized sugar.
Brian had to re-do most of the icicles since Colin woke up before us and put the icicles in the chimney. Then Colin found a bowl of decorating candy and was distracted long enough to not do more damage.
If I had been in charge of the gingerbread house we would have slapped graham crackers on a milk carton. Good work Brian, but yes, a little crazy.
