I am not sure if 2 years in a row can be called a tradition yet, but I have every intention of making it one in the future. Ginger Bread houses. I have kind of a love/hate relationship with them. This has been established because I was not aware that there is a science to the icing you use to make it stick together. So after some not so Christmas-y words, the roof you see in the picture above, was lying flat with a sun roof in it.
I am not sure if it was Gabe's lack of nap or my need to have a Martha Stewart Gingerbread house, but the beginning of our project went something like this.Me: "Gabe! Let's make some gingerbread houses! You want to? We can put candy on them and icing."
Gabe:" Ya!!!" runs to the table and jumps up. 2 minutes later...
Me :"Oh, no! You can help me make it... but.. not ACTUALLY touch it. You can had me the candy."
Dad: "This sounds like a fun tradition already...."
No worries though, once the icing wouldn't hold together, I let Gabe go at it. I'll be Martha next year.
