Gingerbread House Party

Posted by One Fish

One of my very favorite Christmas traditions is making gingerbread houses with our O family. They started the tradition shortly after Two Fish and I got married. We get together on a Saturday in December with bowls of frosting and candy and each child gets to decorate their own house. Unfortunately I was sick this year and didn't get to go but Two Fish took the girls. When he was shopping for the usual premade gingerbread assembly kits he couldn't find what he wanted so he actually baked the houses from scratch. I think he did a pretty great job. That is definitely something I would not have done. He was up half the night baking them and assembling them for the party. He is a really good Dad.
