Decorating Gingerbread houses was a fun tradition I did on the christmases we spent with my Grandma and Grandpa Boyle. It was quite an experience. My Grandma made a smaller gingerbread house for everyone. I don't think I appreciated her efforts enough then. Don't get me wrong I LOVED it. I just never put any thought into all the baking and gluing she did. This was not graham cracker houses it was the real deal and she made at least 10 or more. At any rate it was a tradition I loved.
The first year we were married we did it. We drew plans and cut it all out and made a very awesome and unique house. A couple of years past when we didn't do it but from about the time Riley was 3 we have been doing it every year and we love it. I'm not as ambitious as my Grandma making a house for each person, nor am I as ambitious as our first year making it from the dough. We started buying the kits along with more candy and VOILA!
A couple of years we made two and gave one away. This year we invited my baby brother and his girlfriend Jennifer over. We had TONS of fun!!
