Decorating Gingerbread Houses

One of our family’s favorite Christmas holiday traditions is to make and decorate gingerbread houses. When the boys were little, we decorated each house with a 2-person team (one boy and one parent), but now that the boys are older we each decorate our own house. This year Jen made extra gingerbread dough so we had enough to cut out and bake six houses. Calvin had the great idea to use the extra two houses for a game where we decorate a house for 3 minutes, and then pass the house to the next person. The last two houses turned out really good using this process.
