In the words of the enlightened Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith, "I love it when a plan comes together." I'm happy to report that the gingerbread house was a success. The whole family got in on the act of decorating on New Year's Eve and we had a blast. A lot of work went into it, a lot of materiel was consumed without coming in sight of the house itself, and a lot of smiles and laughs were had.
Evidence...
The house glued together.
Wifey and I putting the Chex on for the roof.
JAM and Red unwrapping the mint candies.

Red helping Wifey decorate the tricked out gingerbread Christmas tree (see below for said tree).
JAM eating more than his fair share. I was wondering where the Twizzlers were going.
Red, actually smiling!
JAM and my step-mother. She and my father were very gracious in letting us absolutely destroy their kitchen for about 4 days.
It's done!
The back - nicely decorated by yours truly. Don't mind the slightly out-of-whack left hand window.
Notice the tree? No possible space for more sprinkles. YUM!

And now, as if I needed to point out my geekishness, your 360 degree view of Christmas deliciousness...

OK, that? Is a seriously impressive gingerbread house. My one and only attempt to do one with my mom (from a kit, no less) wound up seriously not to code. I blame the bottle of wine we split while making it.
Excellent house and love the 360 pics!!
great job on the house...but I've always wondered...now what? Do you eat it? right away after all that work?
Awesome. And I truly enjoyed the added geekiness so I could get the full view. You guys did a great job - it's impressive!!
Was it yummy, too? LOL!
You got the 360 to work! Yay!! Looks awesome. :-)
Way cool! My hubby would have just been there eating the Twizzlers along with JAM.
