Gingerbread House Inspiration

December 9, 2015

I LOVE Christmas and all the fun traditions it brings.
I especially love Gingerbread House decorating!
The kids and I just did a mini village that we found at Target for $9. It had 4 mini houses.
This weekend I’m having a few girlfriends over for a girls’ night and we are going to
chat, eat and decorate our own Gingerbread Houses! I can’t wait. :)
I hopped on pinterest for some inspiration and thought I would share some of my favorite finds!
Lots of fun links to check out below. xoxo.

    I never decorated gingerbread houses as a kid but last year [for my 29th birthday haha!] I decided I wanted to decorate one with my husband. He humored me and we had a blast doing it.

    This year, actually just on Wednesday, I turned 30 and we once again decorated a gingerbread house as part of my birthday celebration. I seriously love doing it, and I know it’ll be even more fun next year when we have our little boy [I’m due with our first in March] joining in!

    Using pretzels to make log cabins is just GENIUS!
