Gingerbread Houses

We have a yearly Christmas tradition of decorating gingerbread houses (and one year giant gingerbread men!) that we love.  I think it's great that even though the kids are getting older (18, 16, 14, almost 12) they still like to do these activities together.  This year they broke out the boxes themselves and were finished by the time I came out.  They had me guess whose was whose and I got them all wrong the first time (which they thought was hysterical) and all correct the second time.

 P-14 likes a simple, clean look~

 C-16 looks like he's plotting something...

 M-11's cute house had "lights" strung on the roof~

 Creativity is messy~

I love Christmas traditions!
