{Gingerbread 2013}

One of my favorite Christmas tradition is our family gingerbread house decorating night. Lots of candy designing and sampling makes this a sure hit activity with the kids. I picked up one of the kits from Target and we had a lil bit of a challenge with the frosting this year. Oh well, globs of frosting or not we still had fun!

Anxious lil hands, ready to decorate even while Daddy is working on putting together the house.
A lil tasting of the ingredients.
More decorating for the whole family!
Our 2013 Gingerbread House. Half of the candy were eaten so the house is a lil bare this year. But we have kids that were definitely on sugar high that night.

I can't wait to start traditions like this with Shelby.
When did you start this with your kids?

Dee. We started with William when he was 13 months old. We pretty much did most
Of the decorating, but he loved seeing all the color and touching texture of candy. Watch closely though so they don't put in mouth and choke.
