Gingerbread House Making Party

I'm sure a lot of people make gingerbread houses but last year I tried something a bit different.

Instead of just making the houses with my family, I invited over our friends to join us. There were 5 kids and 5 adults (my husband was deployed). We had a lot of fun. Some kids had never done this before and they all had a blast.

There was only one house that got messy and we were able to look and get ideas from each other’s houses. We all had a blast!

Afterwards we did a pinata (more candy:)) and the kids exchanged presents.

It made a somewhat sad holiday for my son and me so much more enjoyable being able to share our holiday tradition with others.
