So, every year my family and I make gingerbread houses at Christmas time. This year, no different. We gathered the usual goods-graham crackers,frosting, and loads & loads of CANDY! And GUMMY BEARS! The gummy bears are the most sought after.....
This is my Michael, contemplating what kind of ginger"bear" house he is going to make. Or maybe he's praying for it not to fall down??!!
This is a Samsal family secret....if your piece of graham cracker is too big-just chew it down to the size you need! Easy-peasy!
My sister making the annual Pink house. One house usually has pink frosting.
My Mom caught in the act.... frosting licker!
This is my niece Monique's Gummy Bear's in a hot tub, can't you tell?? She's ever the romantic!
Last year Michael made the Army gummy bear fort, this year he has recreated baby Jesus being born, Baby Jesus gummy bear is up front on the pretzel stick manger bed. ANd the 3 Wise Men yellow bears. Love it!
This is my other niece Amaya's "Club" , how did gingerbread houses turn into gingerbread clubs???? What the??? See the gingerbread man in the front-he's the doorman(bouncer)??? See what I mean?? Too silly!
This is my sister's Pink House. Cute!
This is my niece Monique, she was in town for a few days but then had to go back yesterday. Miss her already, she cracks me up so much. Love her! Hope you and your family get to do your traditions this Christmas, Merry Christmas!
Blissfully Yours, Tricia
