Looks like fun. I’ve never attempted a gingerbread house, but it looks like Nabisco and Rachel Ray have made it ever so much easier for me. I’ll have to try it.

Now here’s a nice story…my boss and her teenage children, and hubbie worked together on a gingerbread house scene for a contest and raffle. Sounded like a lot of fun. What started as a mother-daughter activity turned into the entire family working together. They didn’t win a prize, as the actual light up houses and villages took the show, but they had a blast I guess.

[...] snow and ice haven’t frozen our fun this week. On the 5th Day of Wishmas our visitors left with smiles on their faces, sticky frosting fingers to lick and sweet candy [...]

I enjoyed the slide show and getting to see our kids at work I asked them if they got creative with their house. Jesse’s response:”yeah that’s our open roof loft in pics 7 and 8 :)” Laura: “Heck yeah we were, our house turned out awesome!! What a fun activity. I forgot how much fun gingerbread house building was… I just might make that a holiday tradition from now on!” I told her I thought that was the whole idea!!

I love that this simple project can be so much fun - for a family, as a new tradition. I remember how much fun it was making these in high school - rolling out, cutting, and baking the actual gingerbread made for a challenge in engineering when it came time to put the house together! But it was so much fun! Graham and now gingergraham crackers are great - like pre-fab housing pieces
