We decided to pull out the gingerbread early this year. It is always great fun and a great mess. I guess that is why we love to do it. We are also entering our houses in a competition this year, so we had to get them done in the midst of a very busy week. But we did it!

How do you make your gingerbread houses? The one time I tried, mine fell apart (the gingerbread before it ever became a house). Maybe you could post directions!!
Haaaaa! You give me more credit than I am worth Emily! Wish I could say that I had made the gingerbread. This time we bought kits at Costco (pre shaped walls, frosting, and bags of candy)--comes out cheaper than buying all of the candy. I do have an AWESOME frosting recipe for them though--it is like cement. I have found this to be the key! Growing up, we always made our houses out of graham crackers. They work really well. Funny thing though--the generic brands work best. The name brand ones are too buttery or something--they crumble more easily.
