Some of you may have already seen this on my food blog. But I loved it and it is quickly disappearing from existance. I barely recognize it anymore. I don't really feel inclined to eat the gingerbread candy and house or train after it is finished. I am sure my sweet SIL, Melinday would understand. The rest of my family can't keep their hands off our annual creation. I guess they don't think of all the hands that have been touching it or the fact that it has been sitting out for over a week.
Gingerbread houses are a tradition in our home. We love to build them and the kids have a fun time getting creative. Check out Lia's big eyed gingerbread man, Isaacs candycane lights on the caboose and Rebeccas elaborate smokestacks. This year I decided I wanted more than the standard box christmas house and the train kits they sell are too much money for a little train. So, I ventured into new territory and made the dough and the cut outs myself. It was a long process but we are pretty happy with the results.
