I can't deny that the holidays are my favorite time of year. We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year and decided to prepare two turkeys instead of one. John's oven baked turkey is AMAZING, and I look forward to devouring it every year. I would have been content with just that, but he wanted to challenge himself and fry a turkey as well. Both turkeys were a huge hit! We filled the rest of our table with Thanksgiving classics and I even prepared a slow-cooked apple eggnog bread pudding. We had a great time with our friends and family. After a few days of letting the food settle, we headed out to pick up our Christmas tree and spent the evening decorating. The house feels so festive. And there is no better way to kick off the holiday season other than an old fashion gingerbread building house competition. We spent over 3 hours getting sticky while lathering up cookie homes with mounds of frosting and candy. There was no apparent winner in the end because all the homes looked awesome. I can't wait to continue on with all of these traditions next year with my little girl.
Those houses are fantastic! What a fun tradition!
