gingerbread houses

This year I made my first gingerbread house. I followed the recipe on you tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0BrIBKrvS0) and created plans for construction based on the images on howcast. Howcast is a fun website with how- to- videos on anything. Anyway, after adding a bit more liquid to the dough and rolling it out with all my strength- It was fairly easy to construct. I made two and invited my buddies, Edee & Posey, to decorate one of their own. We never quite finished the roof I see - ( homeowners seem to always have unfinished projects even when they are gingerbread)

Oh Tannenbaum



We got our tree! This year I'm a bit obsessed with holiday nesting since I was out of the country last year. Here is the super longs tree all gussied- up.
