Gingerbread House





Ah, the Gingerbread House kit.  So simple, yet so much fun.  Years ago, I used to scoff at these kits in the store thinking, "How lazy to buy the pieces already baked!  I am invincible and will do it myself."  Well, I got over that pretty quick. 





Call me lazy, but $5.99 at Aldi bought the boys plenty of fun, I didn't have to lift a finger to help, 




 and the results are a lovely dwelling any fairy tale character would be proud to call her home!


 


How about you?  Do you bake your own gingerbread to construct a house, or do you go straight for the kit?  What's your tradition?

I too used to scoff at the kits. Now, they're a huge timesaver, and the kids have SO much fun!

Yep, we lasted one year with the DIY version. Now we buy one of those kits with 4-5 mini houses and the kids each make their own. This year, we gave up on frosting everything together and used the glue gun to hold the walls together. No, we don't plan on eating it!
