I am embarrassed to say that I have never made a gingerbread house before! Maybe I did when I was younger, but it wasn't something that we did as a family tradition. I found a kit at Aldi's yesterday for 1/2 price so I grabbed it, thinking the kids would enjoy making it. I must admit that I wasn't looking forward to the whole thing. I didn't know how hard/easy it would be and I knew that the kids would want to be front and center to decorate...all at the same time! I decided to put the twins down for their naps and then put the house together. I figured once the twins were awake, I would allow the 4 to do their decorating. But in the end, the house was super easy to construct and all 4 kids were able to decorate right away.
Here are all of the kids taking turns at decorating...minus Katie. I took a few pictures of her but she was decorating the little tree and I couldn't get a very good angle!
I am not sure what happened, but Will was upset with me when I took the picture and he told me that he didn't want to have his picture taken!

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person who made a gingerbread house for the first time this year! You aren't alone. Kayla had made one with Meemaw a couple of years ago but this was a first for me and I got it for cheap at Michael's with a coupon!
