Gingerbread Houses

Frei Family Gingerbread making was a success once again! I am all about traditions and this is one of my favorites.  I know Christmas just wouldn't be the same unless we made Gingerbread's at Grandpa Dennis'. It is a huge mess, and a lot of work but we are getting smarter when it comes to construction. This year we hot glued all the houses together and Bradi found this little village which turned out to be the perfect size for each child to decorate. Even Addie made her very own. She was into it a lot more than I thought she would be, she gave her house a wreath, bushes, a gumball roof and even added a deer for effect! It was fun to watch her create it all on her own. (I just placed frosting where I was told!) The boys did great too! It was a fun night spent with family!

Is it called the Frei Village of gingerbread houses?

Such a fun tradition! We've never made gingerbread houses (other than what the girls have done in school) -- can you believe that!? I always think it sounds fun and then think of the mess and bag it! Maybe next year... :)

Hope you have a great Christmas with your sweet family Lainee!
