Advent | Day 5 | Gingerbread Houses

Last night we got together with a group of friends to decorate gingerbread houses. A few weeks ago someone scooped up many of these prebuilt homes from Costco so all we had left to do was decorate.

In all of my years of overdoing Christmas, I'd never before decorated a gingerbread house! It was extremely fun to listen to Christmas carols, sit around a table together, and hear friends exclaim their brilliant ideas and unfortunate accidents while outfitting their tiny, edible houses. I was shocked at how invested we were in the process and I'm quite proud of my adorable ginger people and their colorful abode! My favorite part, gingerbread hands down, is the gumdrop sidewalk stones with rainbow nonpareil cement.
