I made a nylon rope net to mimic an iced roof… Getting it on was tricky! 😥

“I’ve always decorated it for Christmas, but never something like this, just traditional,” McConnell told ABC News. “I did their house for Halloween and it just sort of blew up, and I never thought it would get this complicated.”

McConnell enlisted her nieces to dress-up as Hansel and Gretel to pull off a postcard-picture shot of the home.
