Our Gingerbread Compound has become a fun little tradition around here. Right before our big blizzard hit in December, I stocked up on supplies for this little big project.
We spend a day or two at least just building the foundations. Every child gets their own section and they can build however and whatever they want. I love to see what they come up with. Some years we have 'A' frames, other years we have people in beds and firewood. This year Matthew made "a house that is messy". It was clumped with tons of candy!
These pictures make me happy. They are so colorful and represent our family well. Something they look forward to every year and will perhaps (or perhaps not) carry on with their own families. After about a month of our beautiful table display I let them have at it, and they spend a day picking out the different candy they still deem edible.
And that's the end of the compound for one more year.
