12 Days of Christmas! Day 9: Gingerbread Palooza, Q+A and a Giveaway! {CLOSED}
Yes, I made gingerbread with my little ginger.
If you guys have been reading my blog for a few years, you might remember that two years ago, the night before I had Max, I went to my parents’ house and we made a gingerbread house. I was in labor while doing it (but didn’t really know I was) and it’s sort of been a tradition ever since! The houses. Not the labor.
This year, my dad and I tried out the gingerbread village from Target. I loved it so much! It was so fun getting to decorate a few different mini houses.
Max and I also mixed up gingerbread dough to bake cookies dough. It’s chilling in the fridge and I can’t wait.
ALSO! I’m going to film a Q+A video this week, so ask whatever you want to ask in the comments, on instagram, on twitter or in an email! xo
Yesterday’s giveaway winner for the Madewell Tote is Stacy S who said “I’m grateful for the people that love me and my kids….without them, I don’t know where we would be.”
Congrats Stacy! Please email me at howsweeteats (at) gmail (dot) com with your mailing address!

We always make appetizers, have sparkling apple cider, and let the kids stay up as long as they want. Love celebrating with our little family at home.
At home with my boys, watching movies, playing board games and eating yummy food!
I followed you on Facebook!
We have young kids and I’m an early to bed person so probably just a quiet night at home, maybe play a game : )
I follow on Facebook!!
Our tradition is that family comes from a long distance and each person contributes (and eats) their favorite naughty food. We know we’re all going to start being really good the next day. ?
I will follow on Facebook and You tube. Happy new year to YOU!
Our New Years Eve is spent with the family. Fun stuff for the Grandkids to do and a feast of Dungeness Crab !! We let the kids stay up as late as they want/can. New Years Day they all get a present for the New Year !
