Yes, I know, I am a bit tardy on this and I have yet to post anything recently. So, won't you bare with me and stick around while we play catch up for a minute.
Here is a quick photo-capture of our 2011 Gingerbread House in the making. Very simple process and the kits that are out now make it even easier. I always think that gingerbread houses should be sold year around, because they are just so darn fun to make and then eat, right?
