Gingerbread Making 101

Every year, gingerbread houses top Dyleva's list of favorite holiday must-do's.  




In fact, it was the first thing they asked to do after Thanksgiving.  




I wanted to make them from scratch this year, but I was outvoted.  

They wanted the kit.


So.  We made the houses from the kit.  Dylan chose "Tio  Starch's house," and Eva wanted a Troll house.  

They worked diligently for 2 days, and created their masterpieces.





Dylan's had two gingerbread men laying down on the ground in front of the house.

"Mommy,"  he called.  "Do you want to know what my house is called?"

"Sure."

"Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Christmas.  Because they are looking up at the sky and they see the stars."

"I love it!!!"

Fast forward a week.  

Gingerbread houses from scratch are back on the table, and we have family interested in joining us!

They did awesome!  I was a little worried the ninos would get frustrated, but they were so busy eating the candy, I don't think they even cared.  

Check out these houses!
