Every year, usually on the Sunday before Christmas, we make gingerbread houses with Sean and Tashena. This tradition started the year that Tashena joined our family and we always look forward to it!
Sean usually eats more frosting than he puts on his house!
A goatee often makes an appearance, as well!
Various stages of construction! We buy kits and then use a hot glue gun to put them together because we never eat them and we like to get to the fun part, which is decorating, as soon as possible! The kits come with candy but we always buy more!
I think Sean's goal was to cover every inch of his house with candy! He is so much fun!
Tashena worked very diligently on her house and was the last to finish! She used the glue gun to attach all of that coconut!

A few more views. I love this tradition because I love spending time with Sean and Tashena. We laughed so hard while making these gingerbread houses and I hope they always remember the fun times we had together! After making our houses we watched Christmas movies for the rest of the night. Sean and Tashena have every word memorized to the movie Elf and we thought it was adorable. Marilyn and I have every word memorized to A Christmas Story and they thought it was annoying!
Note: Here is Tashena's first gingerbread house!
