tis the season to make gingerbread houses



ok, so the gingerbread houses have been out of control this year. first, raegan went to a birthday party and decorated a beautiful house...

a couple weeks later, the nelson family invited us over to do houses again. wendy made the gingerbread from scratch and the adults made their own houses and the kids used graham crackers. this was so fun. i loved making my house and it was fun to have the kids do this too... fyi, this was a 3+ hour event. gingerbread houses take a long time!



and finally, raegan's preschool class decorated gingerbread houses at their christmas party. this was so fun. and i think raegan's house is my favorite... so much candy, so heavy!


*side note... when raegan was putting on one of her candy canes, it broke and so she took the curved part and said, i want to put this over the door, then it will look like a real doorway... so creative! i loved it!

No wonder Raegs was so sad when you left the Gingerbread houses at the Nelson's. She wanted her masterpiece at HER house!!!! I love them!!!!
