Gingerbread Houses










This year we made gingerbread houses.  I baked the dough and cut out the pieces the night before and the boys decorated them.  The last time we made houses the kids were much younger and needed lots of help.  This year my aunt Mary was in town and she had never made a gingerbread house before, I know, shocking isn't it.  The houses may not be the prettiest, but they had lots of fun and got pretty creative with the decorating.  Not to mention the sugar rushes.  The fist batch of icing was a pretty white but didn't taste too good, so the second batch I added maple flavoring, that's why it is brown.  Tasted much better though! :-)
