Gingerbread houses have been a tradition in Jay's life for a long time and so this past year we decided to start that tradition in our home. So at the beginning of December we made and decorated graham cracker gingerbread houses. It was a first for me and the kids and we had a great time. Jay and I put all the houses together (which was a hysterical pain in the butt but a memory for us to share for forever) and then we all decorated our own. The kids LOVED it and Jay and I had a really fun time too. I hope it is a tradition we keep up with because we all had a great time and it sure was a fun way to spend time as a family.

I must put the disclaimer about Jay's house. For some reason this roof WOULD NOT stick. So being Jay, he found a way to just make the caved in roof work for him. It looks like there must have been some sort of terrible accident or something. Anyway, I just love it. It's better than anything I would have done. I would have just thrown my hands up and had a house with half a roof. He may not admit it but Jay has a good, creative mind.

I did not build a gingerbread house, but it was quite entertaining to listen from the other room. I think they all turned out great and I loved having them as part of our Christmas decorations this year!
Hope none of you decide to be architects.
