Gingerbread madness!

When we were at Grandma Wings house this year for Christmas, the kids got to help decorate the annual gingerbread house. We've done this for a few years now. It's turning into a fun tradition for the kids. The little ones really get into decorating it, with lots of help from Grandma. I noticed the older kids ate more candy then they decorated with. I also noticed they didn't stick around long to help decorate. It was OK, we had lots of hands this year to help out, plus there were even more mouths to help eat it!
Autumn was a great helper. I can't remember if she was counting the candy, or dreaming about eating the candy! The kids did eventually get some candy, so did I!
We also got a gingerbread house from Aunt Nelda. Remember the Halloween house? This one is way more awesome.
The kids wanted me to get pictures of all four sides. Above is one side, the picture below is another side......
And another side.......
And this is the last side. Why is there a hole cut in the roof you ask. Just scroll down and see the awesomeness!!
That is the inside of the house. She hand made all the tiny little decorations for the inside of the house!
Can you see what I see? A table complete with silverware, a coffee table with little gingerbread cookies, a couch, a football, and much much more!!

At our house we decorate our entire tree and house with gingerbread's. This was a perfect addition to our Christmas to make this year super special!
