I love gingerbread houses. I make it my mission to make a house or a train every year. It seems like such a Christmassy thing to do. This year Sykes Cottages kindly sent us a gingerbread house to make. Bob got very excited when the parcel arrived and as she is old enough to ‘help’ me this year we got to work straight away.

Fun Photo Fun is going to take a break for a while. Life has been getting in the way and I have been struggling to visit and comment on all of the blogs that link up.
