One of my favorite holiday traditions is making gingerbread houses with my son.
I pipe and he designs.
“When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that it’s the simplest things
,not the great occasions, that give off the greatest glow of happiness.”
~ Bob Hope, American film actor and comedian.
I hope when my boys think of Christmas time they remember
things like making gingerbread houses
and not what was (or was not) under the tree.

Looks great!! I’ve never built one of these before. I had a kit last year, but never got around to making it. I’ll have to do it this year!!
Hear, hear to all those memory making Christmas traditions. Your gingerbread creation is lovely!
P.S. I have been looking for a new Wordless Wednesday linky to join, too. See ya next Wednesday!
That gingerbread house looks like something out of a movie! Fabulous job! I am so glad that I saw your comment on the Naptime Mom Blog because I am always looking for local bloggers. I live in Mobile, but I am patient at Ochsner; so I am in NOLA a whole lot. So glad I found your blog!
Glad you found it too & thanks for linking up! Oschner is a great hospital. I did clinicals on their transplant unit when I was in nursing school and got to see some of the newest medical advances in action. See ya next Wed!
How lovely a gingerbread house that is…oh my word…I have never made one of them….but that is just beautiful. Wishing you & yours a glorious Holiday Season…
MMmmmmm!! Those were always fun to make (& to eat after the holidays). Thanks for sharing, & I hope your WW was ginger-peachy!
What a great tradition!! That gingerbread house is beautiful! Can’t wait for my little one to get a bit older so we can make one together 😉
Fabulous gingerbread house- Love that
What a cool house! I’ve never had good luck when making them, and gave up. Now that I have my son, maybe I’ll give it a go again!
Thanks! Go for the pre-made box! It was super easy!
last year we let all the kids smash the houses after Christmas dinner and eat them .. .then sent them home 😉
Ha ha! I told my son about smashing it after Christmas and his response was “YES!” He likes that idea!
Making Gingerbread houses is the one thing that I love to do with my grandsons! Great fun!
Great tradition. My mom does this with the grandkids!
Beautiful gingerbread house.
Great house!
I need to get busy baking gingerbread. So tempted to buy a kit!
I went the pre-made route and it was super easy and fun!
Great job with the gingerbread house. That is one of our favorite traditions as well.
Happy WW!

That turned out really cool! I’ve never done one with Princess Nagger…maybe we should start a tradition, she’d probably love it! 🙂
What a fun idea!! I hope to someday do this with my daughter.
What a great memory to build with your child! I, too, hope my kids remember some of the fun things we do together since they usually forget what gifts they got about 2 weeks after Christmas! Not because they get so many, because they don’t. Just because the gifts really don’t mean as much to them as they think.
I love your gingerbread house! I give a gingerbread house kit to our grandchildren at Christmas time. I gave them their supplies yesterday and I can’t wait to see it put together. xo
YUM! I think my son and I may need to do one this year…
we have a play date building these on saturday the kids can’t wait
Thanks for the WW linky 🙂
I have the same hope for my kids Christmas memories each year as well! Lovely gingerbread house by the way. Thanks for stopping by and linking up. Have a great day! 🙂
WOW, that is one impressive gingerbread house!
That gingerbread house is amazing! You both did a wonderful job!
