Gingerbread Architecture: An Amazing Holiday Tradition

What is your favorite handmade holiday tradition? Mine are the spectacular gingerbread "houses" that my sister and her family put together every year! They are so amazing in complexity, size, detail and architectural accuracy. In the past years they have created a myriad of different buildings including the Eiffel Tower and Rockefeller Center. I have included pictures below of these fantastic creations, enjoy!

    Wow! These are fantastic. I can only imagine the amount of time the goes into this type of thing... and I'd probably be way off. :) I love the aerial view of the ice skating rink.

    Cheers,

    WOW! That is all I can say. I am intimidated by the gingerbread houses that come in a kit. I can't imagine the insane amount of work that goes into something like this.

    Wow, is right! I can't even imagine all the time and planning that is involved in building those edible delights. But, what a way to spend time together as a family.

    Thanks for sharing ♥
