My Gingerbread House











Here's my gingerbread house! Ok, so I did put a lot of time into this one and it turned out alright. Marky made me a cinnamon bear on skiis for the roof, then JD decided he wanted one too and had Marky make him a bunch of bears. We were going to go caroling and give them away but we took way too long making them. I ended up giving mine away the next day. I just wanted the pictures. Of coarse!

JD & Caitlin's Gingerbread House











JD & Caitlin put their brains together to build this one. But they cant take all the credit
because Marky made their Cinnamon bears, there's one fishing, then there's one floating in a ring in the pond, then there's a baby bear, and the bear on skis.

This is Lanisha's gingerbread house! She did awesome! I had to get some upclose pics.

Gingerbread Houses




This last Christmas we tried making real gingerbread houses. I even made REAL gingerbread from scratch, its not that simple, not for me anyway. So I had to include a picture of my awesome gingerbread before we decorated them.
Ryan really put forth some effort because I wanted him to participate but after building houses all day long for work he didnt really feel like working on more houses. So he built the house, then decorated the top with licorice in the shape of 2 people spooning. How clever!
Marky made a pretty cool one, however it never made it to the finishing stage because it fell apart. As you can see he's not happy with the way it turned out.
It was tons of fun though! I would definately do it again!
