The holiday season brings lots and lots of traditions around our house (and probably around yours too!). For us, Gingerbread houses is definitely one of them. Joey and I started doing Gingerbread houses back with Danny and Stephanie when were kids...though I'm SURE Carolyn didn't get the pre-made, pre-assembled, pre-packaged kind. I'm sure hers were home made and filled with love!
You can looks back and see pictures from over the years here 2015 and here 2016. This year Hazel go her very own house to work on. Next year we'll add Lincoln to the project table!
As always the decorating part is a little hectic with three kids, tons of candy and not enough adult hands to go around. Somehow everyone needs something at the same time and then, in a blur its over and we have finished houses.
The big kids are getting much better at listening to directions (like you can only eat one piece of candy) and Hazel was content just watching Ryan go to town on her house, sneaking her frosting when I wasn't looking.
These girls seriously are the sweetest and I can't wait to see how their creativity and personalities show in these houses over the years. This is a tradition that is here to stay!
