~Gingerbread Houses~



The elves have been busy at our house. 


This weekend my kids and I made our traditional gingerbread houses. They really look forward to this time, it is our official kick-off to the holiday season. After we go and pick out the perfect tree. I think the kids like decorating their houses because they are given the freedom to eat tons of candy! 
Can you guess which one is my son's? He doesn't follow the status quo but definitely marches to the beat of his own drum!


 The tried and true recipe is from Martha, you can get it here.





We even made stained glass windows with crushed Lifesavers!


















YUM!
(Now the challenge is to keep the dog away from these!)


These houses are going to join the Linky Party at
DIY Day at a A Soft Place to Land
