Gingerbread House

The holidays are officially here!  And what better way to welcome them than a holiday baking project with some good friends?  

A lot of love went into our Gingerbread House - we are especially proud of our snow covered Peppermint Shingle Roof!

What is everyone else doing to get in the Holiday Spirit?
