Why did I get stuck with the gingerbread houses? I’m not a baker. This is totally a Mandi and Noah thing. But since I am on gingerbread duty, I figured it would be nice for the girls and me to do it together. I went to the store early this morning to get all the supplies for my mom’s recipe. I remember making these with my mom every year, and it’s a special time between mother and daughter.
Sometimes I think our family is so big that we lose sight of all the holiday traditions that were kept in our smaller families before they were blended. Now Mom and Hank make the gingerbread and have the houses assembled before all of us get there. Each family has its own to decorate as they wish.
“Shay!” I call when I walk through the back door into the kitchen. Gavin is still working until Christmas
