Gingerbread house extravaganza

For young woman's the girls really wanted to decorate gingerbread houses for our combined activity. I love decorating gingerbread houses and have done it every year since I can remember. My mom always purchased the ready to decorate kits and hosted a fun party. However, we have a lot of girls and no money so we decided to HOME MAKE the gingerbread houses. I have never done this or seen it done but accepted the challenge. It made a HUGE MESS and took A LOT of TIME (which is something right now I DON'T have) but on the PLUS SIDE my house SMELLED SO GOOD for the whole day!

Because it is such a long process I was making them late at night wearing my COZY pj's when Brandon snapped some pictures of the BIG mess I was making.

Sonia Laura and I showing off the houses we all homemade. What a project!


It was totally worth all the work, seeing how cute they turned out and how much fun the girls had decorating them.

Next year I already decided we will be decorating SUGAR COOKIES!
