Gingerbread Houses

On Sunday my family got together and made our annual gingerbread houses. The kids always have blast making them. We made them a little earlier this year. I'm thinking about possibly putting up the tree before Thanksgiving this year. This would be a first, but why not?

That's a great tradition! How come you want your tree up so early?

That looks like fun but I am not quite ready to start Christmas yet:)

I just like to get the tree up, get everything wrapped and under it. That way I can actually enjoy Christmas instead of stressing. I usually get most of my shopping done before Thanksgiving, when it's too crazy to go anywhere! Most everything else I have to get I'm just ordering online. Yay! (It will be a small Christmas this year)

What a fun tradition! Rob's family has a tradition of having a cookie party around Christmas. We all get to decorate holiday sugar cookies. It's so much fun. The kids especially love it.

Great houses kids. We had a great time.

What fun! Hey, do you have the recipe for the icing? We usually just buy a kit, but it'd be fun to do individual houses instead. I'm with you too-I want to decorate already, I'm ready for Christmas the day after Halloween and I usually have my Christmas music playing starting in early October. Brett just rolls his eyes at me but I think he likes it too!

So fun! We do this too, but we usually wait until after Thanksgiving. BTW I'm so jealous you guys are going to have a basement soon. It will be sooo nice to have double the space!

Sara:) Is it your b-day today? Happy B-day! Your kids are all so big and cute. I can't believe how time flies. Hope you are doing well. Can I add your blog as a link on mine? I thought of orange rolls yesterday and I thought of you!

after doing this with my primary class I have decided our kids really are pretty talented at this--or they have done it so many times they know all the tricks.
