One year The Boy and I made a gingerbread house from scratch – from Martha Stewart. It had the candy melted windows and not so supportive shaped walls – it was really beautiful. I wanted Baby Girl to get to play with a gingerbread house this year, but I knew I couldn’t be overly invested if I was going to let her do it her way…so I bought a kit at Costco.

I think she did a fabulous job. I just love it!
