Gingerbread House!

My Mom, Grandma and I decorated a gingerbread house today. 

It was so much fun -- truly an activity for all ages. 

 Now it feels like Christmas season!

Do you love the thatched roof as much as I do? :) 

We used a kit to make ours. (Similar to this one).  The pieces of the house were pre-cut, and it came with directions on how to "glue" them together with frosting.  

My mom went to a party with girlfriends this week and the hostess had purchased pre-manufactured houses that just needed to be decorated (I think they used these).  This would be a good method for a party, or if kids are involved.  It eliminates the time spent waiting for frosting to harden. 

Sooooo fun! I think we may have a new tradition!
