Make a Gingerbread House – Advent Calendar Day 14
Making Gingerbread houses is a tradition that we used to do every year growing up! It was always an excuse to have a fun party with friends and eat a lot of candy. However, we never actually made gingerbread… the houses were always made out of graham crackers! This year we decided to change it up and actually make gingerbread houses out of real gingerbread with the help of our friends Mason and Clara- and Sophie and Dave too!! ;) For Day 14 of our AMAZING holiday advent calendar, we hope to inspire you to make your very own Gingerbread House! (We even included downloadable blueprints to make it easy!… thanks to engineer Ryan!)
As we were gathering our supplies for our first ever gingerbread house made out of real gingerbread, I was concentrating on how we were going to make those curtains and Ryan was concentrating on the Blueprints! ;) I mentioned that I didn’t really like the part of actually constructing the house… all I wanted to do was decorate. And that was when we were reminded that Ryan and I are actually quite different! ;) Ryan is definitely the engineer and as Ryan put it… I am the “interior decorator.” ;) I must say, that makes us a really good Gingerbread House making team! ;)
And we became an even better team with the help of our friends Mason and Clara! They made it seem extra ok when we decided to join them in eating all of the candy! ;) You will even notice that we had to sacrifice part of Mason’s roof and substitute it with graham crackers! We said it was because the gingerbread did not harden enough… but actually that was a really good excuse to dip that gingerbread into the icing and eat it! ;) It is good to do taste testing, right?! ;)
Huge thanks to Sophie and Dave for letting us make a mess in their dining room while eating a lot of candy and having a ton of fun! ;) Loved every minute of it!
