Gingerbread House Demise

Claire put together gingerbread houses, made frosting and got lots of candy for Emerson, Colby, Lauren, and Taylor to decorate on December 31.  The kids and Claire had a great time!  On New Year's Day, each of the kids took their gingerbread house outside and Papa put each one on a large rock under our bird feeder.  Taylor's gingerbread house was nearest the walkway, so she helped herself to several pieces of candy over the next few days. 

We had close to an inch of rain on Saturday night, and the gingerbread houses collapsed and melted.  This morning, while eating breakfast, a pack of javalina came along to lick up what was left of the gingerbread houses.  One javalina left with a piece of candy stuck to his nose!
