It was a lot of fun decorating mini gingerbread houses with the kids tonight. It’s nice to do something together especially since 2 of my 3 are teenagers. Traditions are really nice. We’ve been doing houses together since the oldest was 2 or 3.
I remember when I was home from college and my sister said we were going to make gingerbread houses with my niece – who was the first grandchild. We baked everything from scratch, and then struggled to put the houses together. Finally we were ready to decorate. My niece ate a few gumdrops, put a few on the house, and yelled, “done!” As she hopped down from her chair. I couldn’t believe it. Kids are too funny!
So cute!! Nice work of art! ππ¨π
Thanks Laura! π
…I second that…ππ¨π
Thanks Janina! π
Oh sweet, I love making gingerbread houses. What a great tradition you have with your kids. I’m sure your children will continue it as well.
Thanks Sharon, that’s such a nice thought – them decorating houses with their kids!
This is a wonderful tradition for you and your kids! Love your gingerbread house. π My sis and I took a class one time where we learned how to bake the gingerbread and assemble them to make a house. It was a lot of work! Hehe! π So I see your house as a definite work of art! πππ
Thanks Jill! I have since then, made the gingerbread from scratch, but it’s a lot of work! And the pieces dont always fit together that well. And I have to make 4 , ha ha. The kits are easier π One day I want to make our house!
Deliciously cute and a wonderful creative tradition …lovely thing to
share with family, thank you for sharing with us.
