Valentine Gingerbread Houses


I am finally getting the pictures up of our wonderfully festive gingerbread houses! We (my friend and I) had a great time decorating (and eating the decorations) these Valentine houses. I did not get to make my traditional Christmas house, so this year I decided to use the red and white candy for a Valentine themed house (well I did go out and "splurg" on some traditional Valentine candy. It is not Valentine's Day without conversation and cinnamon hearts!). My husband told me to make so that it would light up... and I have to say that his idea was a great one! Not only does it look pretty lit up (with the lights shining through the front door and candy stained glass windows) but it smells wonderful too!

I think that I just started a new yearly tradition. Oh by the way... the little pink conversation heart on the front of my house says "Yum Yum"! I did not realize this until I was done with the house!
