Ah the gingerbread house tradition

Well I honestly tried to start out this year with our tradition to go well, to have the perfect gingerbread house.....Neil and I have been doing this for probably 12 years now. And really the houses are quite pathetic every year.
See I was really concentrating, to try and do the windows and icicles so nicely.....

But then something tweaked....and things got crazier.....

and crazier hahhahaha!!!


And I thought hey, if the gingerbread house can't be perfect....let's make Quinn into a gingerbread boy!

He found this quite amusing!!! So yes the house did get done, and we had lots of laughs as you can see.

Great job with the gingerbread houses Denise. It is a tradition in our house that my Mom continues to this day. Although we never decorated ourselves...

another comment. Denise, ask your Mom & Dad about the house we made all together in Naramata one year. Everyone had a specialty - Uncle Pat is super good at construction, your Dad did amazing icicles etc - I seem to recall it was a work of art.
