I have wanted to do homemade gingerbread houses forever, but have always been a little intimidated. This year however, was the year that I was determined to do them.
It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I used a template to cut out this house, but i think it would be fun to make up my own one day...I guess we will see next year...or the year after.
I did some basics with the icing, and then let the boys go.
I really really wanted to do it myself...but I let the boys do it all. I think next year I might do small ones so we can all do one. It was so fun!
It took some major team work to get everything to how everyone wanted, but we got there.
We started the tradition of making gingerbread cookies last year with
this yummy recipe. I figured as long as we were doing gingerbread, we should do some to eat while we decorated.
We added some of the gingerbread men to our house.
Our first gingerbread house was a success!
