Tonight we made authentic home baked gingerbread houses with Brooks's family. Brooks and I get to do this evey year with my family and we decided to add the tradition to the Beattie side as well. This is the first year we have done this as a family and it was a lot of fun. I think a few of the family memebers thought the kids may not enjoy it or may hurry through it and the kids loved it. After we assembled the houses we decided to do our gift exchange with the kids. We had decided to do a $2 gift exchange with the cousins since they get so much stuff for Chritmas we thought this would be a fun thing to do. However pausing in between we did loose a few of our house builders but none the less we got them done. We had no catastrophies all the roofs stayed on and they all turned out! It was so much fun and I can not wait until we do it again next year.

What a great family tradition. I think we may need to still it from you! =)
Those are quite the houses! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Did you make the gingerbread from scratch - or did you buy a house kit?
