gingerbread houses

Somehow a few years back it became tradition to make gingerbread houses at Nana's house at Thanksgiving. All week long the kids all ask, "Is today the day we're doing the gingerbread houses?" "Can we do the gingerbread houses now?" In fact, even in the middle of the chaos of fixing thanksgiving dinner there was pleading for making the gingerbread houses!! Nana always makes sure that every family that is there has a house to decorate together. Most of the time it is a kit. Last year she baked all of the houses and made all of the frosting and bought all the candy. Ya, she's kind of a power-woman like that. But I have to say, I don't think that one will be happening again...

This year was the best ever. It's called "PRE-ASSEMBLED." No slipping, no sliding, no holding for hours the roof to the walls...




happy crafting!
