One of our traditions is making Christmas houses–small ones out of graham crackers and a big one out of homemade gingerbread. I remember making both kinds with my mom growing up–I loved it. It’s still a lot of fun for me and our children really enjoy it, too!

Our big gingerbread house this year. The kids were such great helpers!
They love to see the lights glowing through the candy windows. They call them “stained glass.”

All glowing and pretty.
I love the lights on the big gingerbread house! We did gingerbread houses, but the didn’t have actual lights. Maybe we’ll have to aspire to that next year … 🙂
