Gingerbread /Spice houses

Here are my beautiful girls making their yearly gingerbread houses. We usually only make one house and decorate it together but this year we decided to make one for each of them. Daddy helped putting on the roof's but we had to kick him out of the kitchen when he started eating the decorations. We used gum drops, candy canes,spice cookies in the shape of trees and little men. It was really hard for them to not each the decorations too. But the icing was everywhere and I am sure some of that made its way into their mouths. It was a good time and a good mess!
