I love traditions. Tonight, we watched A Charlie Brown Christmas while we built our gingerbread house. This is something we do every year. I always enjoy it because it's just the two of us, making something together. We make a good team. :)
Check out the finished product below. We are always so proud by the time we finish! 
Alex putting the walls up with 'concrete', otherwise known as royal icing. We ran out of icing, so my husand walked over to the KitchenAid and whipped up a fresh batch...I was impressed! 
No such thing, as too much candy. LOL
Ta-Da!
So proud! :)

FUN! I've actually never made a gingerbread house before. I think I'd have a blast, though.
Hello. I found your blog through Tammy's blog. I just wanted to introduce myself...Im Michelle. Hubby and I TTC 5 1/2 years, 9 IUI's and 1 IVF and 2 miscarriages. We finally adopted our daughter, who is now 4 months old. I just wanted to tell you that your time will come. God knows when its your time. Not that you didnt already know that. We were blessed with Kayla in such a way that is almost never heard of, and at a time when we least expected it. HE saved us for her becauce HE knew that we needed her and she needed us. Im a true believer in what is meant to be will be and all in God's time, not ours. I look forward to reading your blog about your journey to your little one(s). I pray that your time is very soon! Please feel free to check out my blog!

Love the Gingerbread house. That is such a cute tradition to have for just the 2 of you.
Fantastic!
i had decided years ago I wanted that to be a tradition in my family, and we are starting it this year. But i dont think ours will look as good. :)
So cute! The question is, do you eat it??
We bought a ready to make one for the first time this year... haven't started it yet, but we have big plans to get it done!
We watched Charlie Brown, too! We are going to do a gingerbread house this weekend, too, I think. Yours turned out AWESOME!

That's really cute!!! I'm sure it was a lot of fun to construct!
Ya'll could not be any cuter if you tried! What a fun tradition - and what an adorable apron!!! Love it all. Thanks for sharing the pics - and I am totally impressed by ya'll's gingerbread house construction. YUM.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your gingerbread house! I Have NEVER made one adn want to make one SO BAD this year! Did you buy a kit or did you make the gingerbread yourself?
What a beautiful gingerbread house!!! You did an amazing job! Too cute!
wow, you are good! i did that once and loved it, although my house was a shack compared to yours! i'm about to post a blog on traditions....
Look at y'all! I am so impressed! That is something I have never done, but it sure does look like fun. And, you guys did a great job!
Thanks for the sweet anniversary wishes!
Very nice! That's such a fun tradition - you get to feel like a kid for a while.
Hey, thanks for the offer. I am definitely one of those people who doesn't want to be disturbed... Besides the fact that my house is a total wreck. Not that it is usually spotless or anything, but the week of the Madrigal Dinner... it's just a given that it is going to be a DISASTER. And being sick didn't help!
Love your ginger bread house! We made one last year, but the next morning the icing shingles on the roof slid off in one sheet! That was only the beginning of its self-destruction...you should have seen it after trying to put it back together many times...
Look at that -- love it!
Awww, that's beautiful!! You've inspired me to do one. :)
The gingerbread house turned out soo cute! I am going to make my hubby make one with me too!! Happy Wednesday!!
WOW I am very impressed! I have actually never made a gingerbread house, but it looks like it would be a lot of fun.
What a fun tradition. Ya'll did a great job!
Jill you guys did such a good job on the gingerbread house, i'm like you, there is NO limit on the amount of candy on there!! Great tradition to have with the 2 of you.
