The House that B,G & K Built

December 29, 2011 by Elaine

The kids did a gingerbread house with their grandmother while Tim and I were out of town.  I kinda missed doing it with them but she also gave them complete free reign (which I am not very good at. ahem.).  Anyway, I think it still turned out pretty well.  We’ll just call it abstract, k?

I think it might be a Christmas dragon, what about you? 😛
Apparently it was quite tasty too… 
Do you have a gingerbread house tradition? Or any other baking/decorating you have to do at the holidays?
The kids and I didn’t get a chance yet so I think I’ll make cookies with them today…

    That’s adorable! And I’m sure a memory they will cherish. We’ve done gingerbread houses before, but honestly the frosting always kick my butt, lol.

    That is so cute! We all make our own little houses, that way I can let go of my control issues and let them have free reign.

    I went to my son’s school and I was the parent volunteer (along with lots of other parents!) and we made a gingerbread house together. It was perfect, really, and it was a lot of fun. Usually our gingerbread houses end up being disasters!

    I think it is perfect! Love that they are old enough to do things like that together. Simply beautiful!
