Gingerbread Village

The last few years our family has really enjoyed building "gingerbread" houses. This year, about the time we were discussing when we would fit it in, Allen and I attended a work Christmas party and had a sitter stay with the kids. They were delighted that she brought along gingerbread houses to decorate. The craft wasn't as elaborate as we've done in the past, but it was just enough to let the kids have fun.
