Gingerbread House Tradition... Treasures and Trinkets Thursday!

Gingerbread and Treasures and Trinkets Thursday!

My little man and I have had a Christmas

tradition of making cookies

and building a gingerbread house for as far

back as I can remember.

It's so nice to have something

to look forward to each year.

Here is our 2010

Gingerbread House Tour!

:0)

This  is my little man's,

"mommy, are you seriously going to put this

picture in your blog" look.

(oh yes I am!)

Ain't he the sweetest?!~

Ok, Ok....I know you didn't come to see my little man,

so here is what we do!

Since we don't eat the gingerbread houses,

I generally buy a kit on clearance after

Christmas for the next year. I keep it in the garage and

so far we've been lucky...they've kept just fine.

(you could also pay full price too, but I'm cheap!)

LOL

This is Carson helping me cut up the little green

gum drops to add to our little wreath above

the door. This is the first year

we've ever thought of doing a wreath!

Didn't the wreath turn out cute!

Oh my, so adorable!

The bow is just a gum drop cut up too!

We did candles in the windows too.

Just icing and a teeny tiny slice of a gumdrop for the flame!

(that was my favorite feature this year!)

Up close shot of the wreath....

Major look of satisfaction going on in

this picture!

Yep, he's always so proud of his work!

What traditions do you have in your family?

I would love to hear about them!

Have a Very Merry CHRISTmas!!
