We've been decorating gingerbread houses every December for several years now and always have a lot of fun (and make a huge mess!). The children decorated a tiny gingerbread village using all of the candy and icing that came in the box. I was inspired by Barn Raising's birdseed gingerbread house and so I tried to recreate it myself. My house was already put together, so it was easy to spread peanut butter all over the house and add a colorful birdseed mix to the roof and thinly sliced dried apricot and pineapple to the walls. I nestled it in our birdbath outside of the dining room window and the blue jays have been loving it! Hopefully they'll let their woodland friends know and it will get eaten up soon. I want to use more color (cranberries!) next year... Here's to new traditions!

I love the idea of making a gingerbread house with food for the birds!
I never want all that candy around but doing a house for the birds sounds perfect
Can I ask what kind of camera you use to take all your pictures? The color and clarity of your photos always come out outstanding and I'm really wondering what kind of camera to get, to take family pictures! Thanks a lot!
Hi Our Family! We have a Nikon DX. We bought it at Walmart a few years ago. In the last year we have added a 35mm lens to it and that is the lens that I mainly use. If you have any other questions, just let me know!
lovely! :))))
