Creating a gingerbread house from scratch is one of our yearly traditions that we started our first year of marriage. Every year the project has grown. This year Logan was the architect and he designed the house from a picture we found on the internet. First, he created a model out of cardboard that was 1/3 the final size. Then we baked for two days to create the gingerbread pieces. Next, it was time for candy shopping! Finally, we spent two days decorating our house. Here is a video that explains the features.

ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet house! I love making them with the kids, it was something my grandma did with me when I was little too!
ReplyDeleteCool house! But the thing that struck me is how much you look like your mom.
ReplyDeleteBarbara,
