Gingerbread Houses

Last year we started a new family tradition building gingerbread houses. Everyone gets involved; grandma, grandpa, Jared, Craig, me, Clay, Chloe, Macee, Shelly, and Brandon. This year we had a new addition into the family, Rowdy, but of course, he was asleep. We all make or build our own gingerbread house, of course I don't usually make my own, I'm helping the kids with their own. This year Macee made her own, and she was so proud, she wanted to eat it, too.

There is a lot of quietness in the house when everyone gets building. Graham crackers are being used like crazy, cutting the crackers making sure they fit just right, and the icing everyone needs their own. We have all kinds of detail that goes into these. It takes about two days to finish, and even sometimes they don't quite get finished, that's okay we all have a good time.
