We have a tradition with Jeff's family every year to make Gingerbread Houses. We really go all out, and it is pretty competitive. Everyone tries to think of something really creative and unique to do, something that has never been done before. Here is the set up. You would think that the candy provided in the kits would do but no. No, no. My mother in law goes above and beyond to supply all kinds of goodies for our Gingerbread Creations.
From frosting to pretzels, smarties to marshmallows, you name it, it's there.
Getting started and brainstorming seems to be the hardest part for me, but once I get going I just can't stop.
Our Masterpiece(s)
I did the one on the left, Jeff's is the one on the right.
(Chris's, Mine, Jeff's, Cam's, Whit's, Brandon's, Lynsi's)
All of the houses in a row.
We take our Gingerbread houses seriously around here. Really.

I must say, I am IMPRESSED! Very professional-looking! I love the sleigh Jeff made!
Hey Nat I love the reindeer!!! Very creative!!! Tell Jeff his was good too!
They are good, they put ours to shame.
How cool! Nice job, it's weird how much Jeff and Mike have in common. Mike just made a ginger bread castle and made a sleigh too!
