Year 5 of the (same) Gingerbread House Tradition

I know. I know. I need to try a new house, but I love the idea of making the same one every year for comparison. AND, maybe we can perfect our technique? At least the frosting/glue. It’s the bane of the building process honestly. SO, we try again!
But, the difference this year? WE ARE IN OUR NEW HOUSE!!! Lotsa space. Lotsa joy.

Let us review.

Year 1 cutie pie (Mama’s house)
Year 2 cutie pie. Same shirt, I know. (Mama’s house)
Year 3 cutie pie (Mama’s house)
close up!
Year 4 cutie pie. (In the condo)

And are you ready folks???

Hot cocoa to start us off. Are we excited, Tot???

Let’s get that hard part finished. Egg whites beaten to peak. Add the sugar and this year, let’s try vinegar.

It was a bit better this year. Very sticky. So let’s try the A frame

Frosty time!
Let’s try a cross this year.

We let it dry and start to decorate. The little people are in tact this year! And we’ll put the dog on the ground this year. Why was he flying at the peak of the house in the past? Hmmm… Reindeer dog?

Oh, this is looking cute! Any leftover drops of morsels?? Always. ALWAYS!

And voila!

Year 5, it adorns our new home with this old tradition. I love making this with you sweet girl!
