gingerbread houses...a very loose term


We decorated the Gingerbread Houses that my mom made from scratch and made the house smelled SO DELICIOUS!

We had frosting all over our faces, hands, clothes and after the night was over.  It's such a fun tradition and it helped me get in the mood for Christmas!!

This is our "CREATION." Ryan and I tried to make two houses and attach them together, but since I was a frost-hog the frosting wouldn't dry! The walls started buckling and the roofs never stayed on so we just threw pieces where they could go and decorated it as much as we could.  It was a BLAST! It's our "Mansion/Church/LeanTo/Hostel/Whatever" and I think it turned out well.  It is HUGE!



This is Ryan's truck.  He was very proud of it!


Carter was everywhere, licking, biting, eating, snitching, etc.  He was such a good helper!


And we're holding....and we're holding...and we're holding...


Dawson and his yummy house!


Dawson is happy...Ryanna not so much.  She was mad that we had to keep the houses at Grammie and Grandaddy's house so it could try.


He was being a STINKER and he DESERVED IT! I totally frosted his neck!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're done!






It was FUN! Thanks for all the hard work, Mom, that you put into the night for us.  Next year, I'll help clean up! It was a blast, can't wait for next year's!!

Oh how fun! Looks like everyone had a blast with their own creations. Tell Ryan his truck is very nice.

Wow, I'm impressed! Gingerbread houses from scratch is no easy task. I have been resorting to the hot glue gun lately to hold our houses together:) Your houses look delicious and so yummy!

It's a good thing Ryan went into Law and not construction. :)

You guys did well. But it was the kids that really surprised me. I knew Ryanna would know just what she wanted where, but Dawson had definite plans and couldn't be talked into doing anything different. So fun to see that side of your quiet little shy guy!
