Gingerbread Houses

Last year we had such a fun time making Gingerbread houses with our fabulous friends, The Woodburys, that Kathryn and I decided we needed to make it a tradition. Kathryn makes real, homemade Gingerbread houses and did this with her family growing up. We love that we can be her replacement for this tradition. The kids had a grand time!
Grant, Annie, Madi & ALL the yummy candy

Hard at work

Of course Jack added a lot more sweetness to the project this year! So glad I caught this little moment!

The finished product! Notice Madi's big final touch, Santa on the Chimney! She was waiting the whole time to be able to put him on!

Grant & Pierce - so excited about their Gingerbread houses!

We had such a fun night as a family and loved spending time with our great friends. Thank you Kathryn, for doing all the hard work, and letting us enjoy it with you! We love you guys and are so grateful for the wonderful friends you are to us!

Looks like such fun! We are doing a Gingerbread House too, but none of that "homemade" stuff...we just buy the kit from WalMart. :D What a fun holiday tradition!

The houses turned out darling! What a fun tradition! And how great that you can share it with good friends.

Love your new header! I'm still in awe over your family pictures. They are so perfect Josie! Simply beautiful.

Such cute gingerbread houses - and even cuter kids! What a fun tradition to share together. And of course it wouldn't be complete without Santa on top. Great work Madi! :)

What a fun tradition to start. Jayden is looking at all the candy with the BIGGEST eyes! He says, "Wow, they are really being a family!". So cute. Maybe I better see if Kathryn will make us some real gingerbread instead of the kit I buy from Costco :) LOL.

Really, looks like fun!

Your houses are so much cuter than my store bought ones. Cherish living so close to a good friend. I miss it soooooo much!
