Gingerbread House

I've posted before about our annual tradition to make a gingerbread house. Last year, I bought a kit after Christmas on clearance for about $1 and saved it for this year. Sad, I know. Fortunately, we got a call from a family friend that makes gingerbread houses every Christmas. She invited us over to make a REAL gingerbread house. We were very excited about the opportunity.

When we got there, she showed us some samples.


Then we got to work. The gingerbread smelled so great.  She had already baked it, but we had to put our house together.


Baylie put on the gumdrop roof. Shortly after that, she got bored, so David and I finished the job.


We made little teeter totter guys.


And here is a balcony scene with Gingerbread Rapunzel and Flynn Rider.


The gingerbread is now smelling wonderful in our house and we're wondering how long we have to wait before starting to eat it!


Thanks, Sister Johnson!

Sounds like me. I buy everything ahead on clearance. Just ordered the girls Halloween shirts for next year from Kohls for a few dollars.
