Holiday Dresses, Christmas Trees & Gingerbread Houses: Part 3

After tree hunting, my boyfriend and I hosted our first Annual Gingerbread House Extravaganza.

And even though I didn’t know what to expect because I’d never made a gingerbread house before, I was still psyched to get started!

And yes, I can see where some might think this is a lame way to spend a Saturday night – but I swear it was so much fun! I mean the toppings alone were enough to convince me that this needed to become an annual tradition!

And our little gingerbread village turned out awesome – even though my boyfriend turned his into a XXX shop and my sister incorporated a decapitated gingerbread man in hers.

But I’m attributing these poor decisions – and the ridiculousness that ensued afterwards – to the massive sugar high we were on from the start!

My masterpiece!

My boyfriend’s gingerbread porn shop – sigh

We nicknamed this one Barbie’s Outhouse

My sister’s gingerbread house came complete with crime scene
