One of our very favorite Christmas traditions that we have started with our friends is to make Gingerbread Houses. Typically we pull out the grahams and have at it, but this year we pushed ourselves a little further and made actual gingerbread. It was easier than I had ever anticipated with a great recipe from the Food Network. Emma was very proud of her creation at the end of it all. Matt typically gets to the house pretty quickly to satisfy his sweet tooth, but this year Emma wouldn't let him! And so, our gingerbread still stands as a centerpiece on our table for all to admire!

P.S. For more fabulous pics, visit Sean and Sarah's blog listed on the blog list. Their gingerbread house is seriously cute!
