Tradition

Ryan has a family tradition of making gingerbread houses. His whole family, I mean WHOLE family gather together to make them. A usual turn out is about 30 people and a more candy than you can imagine. It is really fun to see what each person ends up making. Ryan is very well skilled in this art. I am still learning. We kept with tradition and made our own gingerbread houses. I know it wasn't the huge festivity it is with his family but we have to start small. I was proud that we made the frosting right and that our houses turned out so well. Lacey made her own and Aidan and I worked on one together. Ryan constructed his masterpeice alone. And yes, the kids insisted that candy corns were used on their houses. It is a sad addiction they have. We had a great time and loved keeping with tradition.
