Gingerbread houses

Mike's mom used to build and decorate gingerbread houses, then sell them at craftshows during the holidays. She said there was one season where she made over a thousand dollars at a three day craftshow. She is an expert when it comes to these festive, delicious creations! This is the second year the girls have decorated houses. We went over to Joe and Kathy's last night and the table was all set up for decorating (and eating of course).

Braden did a great job decoratiing his house, while Cobin watched his big brother.

Mke made this Christmas tree out of candy and an ice cream cone. Isn't he talented!?

This is a fun tradition that we've started. The girls love decorating their houses but I think they enjoy eating them even more!
