(Super Mom) Gingerbread Houses
Today, we had a rare chance to slow down because we had to--thanks to a snow day. With my older girls home from school, I took the opportunity to make gingerbread houses with them. It has been a few years since we did this and I can’t say I was looking forward to it. We usually make the graham cracker kind and you know how crazy that can be.
But this time was different! While my girls were all outside playing in the snow, I got to work putting the houses together. I couldn’t find my recipe for Royal Icing, so I googled it and found THIS recipe. Oh my—it is perfect! This recipe worked so much better than the one I have been using for years and years. It was so easy to stick these houses together--with no milk cartons in the middle, mind you.

sounds like a fun day! we usually do gingerbread houses every year. i am trying to find the energy needed to deal with the craziness and mess that always ensues. :)
Why didn't I think of Graham crackers?! I totally didn't to gingerbread houses because I didn't want to make it. We made cone trees with tissue paper instead. :( I suppose it's not too late..
I want you to know that I made a gingerbread house with my kids after I read this - they loved it. Thanks for the post that reminded me this would be a fun thing to do with them.
