Gingerbread House

The weekend after Thanksgiving, my Mom decorates a gingerbread house with the boys. They look forward to this special time with Grandma & it has become one of their most cherished holiday traditions. Their gingerbread house may not be considered a culinary masterpiece but it is created with lots of love, laughter & wonderful memories.
