Gingerbread Houses

Every year a tradition in our house is to create gingerbread houses. 


It is like a two week open-ended project.  They sit at the end of our dining room tables like shrines to the holiday. 


Dylan comes home from school, picks a few dulces off, adds some more, we are good for the day. 


This year Eva was excited because she was able to add the Enano to the house.  Dylan created a gingerbread choo-choo. 


I help them with the initial structure, but the frosting seals them almost immediately.  the ninos are on their own after that.  They frost and decorate away. 


It is a daily work in progress that is ever-changing...until about December 28 when Mommy gets tired of looking at the shrines....
