Harry Potter is my LIFE

As a warm-up to the Harry Potter marathon, Lindsey and I got together about a week before and made this super awesome gingerbread house! It was a big project and took us about 4.5 hours. Soooooooooo long.......... BUT it was totally worth it!

The beginning when we still weren't totally sure how to make it

Cute little walls: graham crackers and homemade royal icing (I think that's what it's called...)

We made a TON of walls

We mostly used hot glue to put everything together

Towers: toilet paper rolls and waffle cones!

It was definitely a two-person project. I don't know how it could have been done alone. And doing it alone would be so boring!

Not too much more to do!

Still in process (but notice that there is another building added!)

Of course it wouldn't be complete without the characters!! So we have Lucius and Draco Malfoy...

Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom (who is totally trying to flirt with her)...

Dumbledore...

We even frosted the back!




It's finished!!!!!

The trio :)



So happy to be done!! And thinking about entering it into a contest next year!



Harry Potter marathon!!!!!! (Only takes 20 hours :D) I think my mom took this during Order of the Phoenix.

And this is the beginning of Deathly Hallows part 1!!! So this was around midnight... amazing that we all look so energetic after sleeping for only 5 hours the night before and at this point having watched for around 15-ish hours!

In other news, my mission papers are in!!! These are the maps in our house with everyone's guesses on them. So excited to find out where I'm going this week!!
