Gingerbread House

Making gingerbread houses is an annual event in our home!  It's not something I did growing up, but started before we had Liliah to give some moms in our church the opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done.  Hubby & I use to do it the old fashioned way of baking and assembling the houses the night before.  Now it's a kit for us. 

You were so patient all week asking if it was time to make the house. I love your jammies, they say "Wake Up and Smell the Cookies!

Look at your face....I think you are pretending the strategy of your design, while your other hand is sneaking more candy!

Your favorite candy is the little colored balls.  You also like the hearts because you say they mean love!

You enjoyed the whole process and stayed until the end!  You and daddy have already started demolishing the backside of the house! I love this tradition that you and I have.
