Gingerbread House

Gingerbread House's have been a family tradition since around 1970. Every year the married women in my family, gather at my Grandma's house to make a gingerbread house. Until last year my Grandma would make the gingerbread pieces and we'd put them together with her amazing home made icing...as good as supper glue. This last year has been a tough one for all of us, as Grandma's mind health has began to fail. Everything we've ever known and loved are these traditions with our Grandma. In an effort to keep some of them going, we gathered this year at my house for gingerbread house day. It's fun to visit, eat lunch...and lots of candy! This takes hours by the way, after all we are professionals!
