Holiday Craft - Gingerbread Houses

this was such a fun thing to do, i wish we would have started doing these years ago...

we started off with 2 of these kits

they run around $10, and i have seen them everywhere

and off they went

my girls had so much fun making these together

they didn't even fight while making them

and they even helped each other out...when needed



we had to reconstruct Josie's house several times

because the roof keep sliding down

Taylor's house
