Gingerbread Houses

Pretzels, candies, and mini wheats oh my!

For as long as I can remember, before Thanksgiving we all get together and decorate ginger scented cottages to be eaten on New Years.

Mamo once again made gingerbread houses for us 7 grandkids to decorate! Thank you!!!

The icing was flying, candies were put in place, and brown cottages turned into fish houses, winter palaces, and candy wonderlands.

It was a blast decorating the houses and eating candy with cousins and sisters and brothers all laughing and smiling and so focused on making the houses look just right!

Me and L were last, with the HUGE house! Each of us did a side…

L’s was nice and cottage-like, with darling trees…
