It’s one of the critical memories of my childhood. No year went by without gingerbread–it was the single indispensable Christmas cookie. And not very many went by without some sort of gingerbread construction.
Well, last Saturday, our daily Advent activity was…making a gingerbread house with Grandma! Sorry you can’t smell it (or taste it. But the internet has its limits, you know.) Enjoy! 🙂

Have a very merry Christmas.
Blessings to you and your family,

Looks a lot like the ones we made. (Can’t get sarcasm over the internet, either)
When I asked Mom to come make a gingerbread house with us, I was envisioning four walls and a roof, and perhaps a small box chimney. When she walked in with this pattern, my jaw hit the floor. We started at 10:30 a.m. and put the finishing touches on at 5:15p.m.
Yours looks great! We’ve tried a few times, and just ended up with a mess.
We don’t use the recipe they give, b/c it’s really not meant to be eaten. That means we have to get creative in construction sometimes. 🙂 For instance: heavy cardboard backing to hold up the big pieces, which would like to collapse and crumble. 🙂
LOL You guys went all out! Bravo!
I would’ve been lucky to build 4 walls and a roof. 😀
That first one is so precious!! And I am jealous, I’ve always wanted to make a gingerbread house!
It looks wonderful and what treasured memories have been made!
Very similar to my post! 🙂 And I just ADORE that first photo of the hugging!! Merry Christmas!

Wow! That thing is huge. We made a GB house one year. It actually turned out to be more of a GB raft though instead of an actual house. We’ve not tried again since.
LOL! That one needs a visual to go along with it.
Oh my gosh, it’s a Victorian! Love!
And what a little elf helping out there!
