With one week before Christmas we decided to make our very own gingerbread house! This was our first time making one from scratch, so a little trial and error were involved. The kids were patient while I cut the dough and had lots of fun decorating. The house collapsed several times, but we finally got it all stuck together! It isn't the prettiest house, but we had fun. We even made some gingerbread men to eat :-)
