We did our Christmas tradition of making gingerbread houses at my parent's house this year while we were down for Thanksgiving. My Mom was the one who started the tradition with us kids when I was about 8 years old. She took care of everything while the kids had a fabulous time with a few of their cousins.
Mason had a wonderful time. That is until he was drug away kicking and screaming. He would not quit eating the candy! We had to take him away before he made himself sick.

I am already thinking ahead to Christmas. For Christmas Eve I normally do a smoked turkey and bread pudding with a spiced rum sauce for desert. I am thinking about changing things up a bit and making Prime Rib. I have never made Prime Rib on my own before does anyone have any recipes or suggestions? Or any great recipes for a festive fun desert? I would LOVE it if you would share them with me!

I will always remember our first time making the gingerbread houses, it was so much fun, so much fun we have continued it year after year. It is as much fun watching the grandchildren making them as it was when my own children were little. I can't believe how creative the little ones are. Great job grandchildren.
What a fun tradition!!!!
fun! cute houses!
The houses turned out so cute!!!
I don't do a 'festive' dessert...just one that is so fattening that I'll only make it once a year. Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie...but I'm thinking about trying one of my favs from HI, Chocolate Haupia Pie.
OMG Al, I hope you don't let your boys EAT those houses....not only are they TOO STINKIN' cute, but I also think they'd be "sugar-wired" for days, literally! Thanks for sharing. :)
I don't have any help on Prime Rib, but we can surely help by coming over to eat them, lol. You reminded me that I need to go buy a gingerbread house kit for Hiro.
Mary that sounds yummy! I would love to do an eggnog creme brulee but Victor doesn't like it. :(
