Gingerbread house anyone?

Yesterday we went to Grandma's house to make gingerbread houses. I was so stressed, I had grocery shopping to do and pies and cookies to bake. I really didn't want to take the time to do this. However I reasoned with myself, it's my own fault, I left everything until the last minute. Granted it didn't help getting sick for an entire day last week, but still. Katherine was so excited and it seems like lately we tell her we'll do something and something else happens and it doesn't work out. How could I disappoint her yet again? So we went. I am so glad we did. I remember as a kid my mom would help us make all our teachers gingerbread houses every Christmas. It's such a fond memory. We haven't made gingerbread houses in years. I never really knew how much I missed making them. The pies and the cookies didn't get done, but it was nice to spend some quality time with family. So today you guessed it, it's baking day!
