I finally got our gingerbread houses made a couple weeks ago. Making the houses is a fun tradition we do but it is a lot of work. It takes me a few days. This year I was able to make the dough and roll it out and bake it all in one day. Then on the weekend I made the royal icing and we started to assemble it. Anna really wanted to help me make the royal icing this year, including separating the eggs. We only had problems with one egg so she did a good job. And the icing turned out nice. Here are the kids starting to add candies to their houses. I put the structural icing on then wait a few minutes for it to set. Then I go around and start adding more icing so they can put candies on. They have a lot of fun decorating.
John had a green starlight mint roof. I like their design ideas that they come up with.
Matthew went all out on this colorful tile roof. He's been nibbling a few of his roof tiles every day. It looks pretty!
Here's John's other side. I think John stayed and worked on his the longest this year.

Grant's friend came over to play as we were finishing up. Grant's showing him his house.
Another successful gingerbread year. Hooray!
