Christmas time is here. What a wonderful time of the year. All the festivities are beginning and for some new traditions are starting. We thought it would be fun to put together a round up of GINGERBREAD recipes that you could do with your family.
Every year on Christmas day my niece, nephew, husband and I put together a gingerbread house, train or just decorate gingerbread cookies. However, i have to admit we cheat and buy the ones from Walmart. My husband normally is the one that gets stuck putting it together and the kids decorate it with candy (if they haven’t ate it before hand lol). They love it and look forward to our yearly tradition.
This year I thought it would be fun to see what Gingerbread houses are out there and maybe find a different option for us this holiday season.
After gathering up all these fun Gingerbread recipes we just may have to create our own craft or cookie from the websites below. Our blogging friends have some creative ideas that your bound to love.
