Our family holiday tradition, building gingerbread houses. It’s a contest although none of us actually declare a winner. We all trash talk each other houses and declare ourselves the winner. Enjoy our parade of homes gingerbread style. I built the one pictured above and the back of the house is pictured below. It has a pond in the front of the house and French back doors. That Twizzler sticking out of the ground was supposed to be a fountain. Didn’t work out the way I expected it to, so now I call it a small tree.

I especially love the chocolate room with the lemon balls, great use of color.
Merry Christmas Caroline. What sweet and cute Gingerbread houses. You and yours most certainly have the Christmas spirit.
