Don't you love hobbies? I do. I love reading and painting and gardening and hiking, but most of all I love making

GINGERBREAD HOUSES!

I've been making them since my children were small, so I've had a lot of experience. Back then we made simple houses and the kids all helped. Over the years they've gotten more and more elaborate. Here are some of our favorites.
