One HUGE Gingerbread House

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy .

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.
