This week we were planning to re-visit the BIGGEST Gingerbread House we’ve ever seen, but the boy is sick. [insert pouty lip here] His ear hurt so bad the other day, he kept asking me to kiss it. I wished my mommy kisses could have fix it. I hate feeling so helpless, especially when my boy is suffering.
Anyway, we hope to make it there next week. Until then, I thought I would leave you with these pictures from last year. And yes, it is completely edible.
The gingerbread house is accompanied by an entire gingerbread village and castle.
