Gingerbread Houses!




So this year we began a new family tradition. Our Christmas eve celebration now includes making gingerbread houses. Throughout the month I collected some gingerbread kits and decided that Christmas eve would be a fun time to put them together. the kids loved it, they were so excited. They each choose the one they wanted and then we attempted to put them together and decorate. That's the great thing about the first time doing something, it's always a learning experience. We learned that putting the houses together and decorating at the same time doesn't work out so well. Next year we will know to put the house together wait a bit and then put the roof on and wait some more and then decorate. This is a tradition we will have to start earlier in the day instead of doing it all at night. But we still had fun and lots of laughs. This is one tradition I am very excited about.
