Gingerbread houses

We have done a gingerbread house almost every year since we've been married. It's been a great lesson in constructing with people. The first year we did one with a helpful Andrew, Matt had his full engineer on. After about a half an hour or more of being frustrated, he with my impatience, me with my "disgust" of his perfectionism, I mentioned, "This is SUPPOSED to be fun!" After a chuckle, we got on with it.
This year Jared was able to be with us and we decorated three houses!!




What concentration!!



"What do you mean I can't eat all the candy??"


The finished project, up and away from prying (literally) hands!!

What is going on here? Where is the picture of you Gingerbread house wreath? That was a work of art. How could it not make it as part of this post?

Well done! Do you make the houses or buy the kits? (we tried the kit this year and were pleased, but added our own touches).
