Making and Assembling 11 Gingerbread Houses from Scratch!

[@sandraoren3690]

Becky you make all your subscribers feel like they are sitting on the other side of the island, enjoying the chit chat and laughing along with you. You have found the “sweet spot” of having your family interact, not too much - not to little. Kudos to you

[@denisescruggs7367]

I have to tell you that I'm smiling with a little tear seeing your Mom & Dad enjoying themselves decorating and showing off their gingerbread houses! How special and wonderful to have family! And your Mom is so incredible to have prepared and brought all that dinner. Blessings to you all! 🙏🙏🙏

[@jodishrock9491]

I recommend if you plan to do a bulk batch again do yourself a favor and commission an Etsy shop to make cookie cutters of the various pieces you need for the gingerbread houses. That way it saves you loads of time not having to cut them each out and you support a small business.

[@rachelmick4051]

That's a great idea. Also, if you are not eating the gingerbread, you can omit the baking powder/soda and they won't spread as much.

[@danaschelin3853]

That's brilliant. I didn't even know you could do that!

[@niecieyukiye6654]

Could you substitute the butter for margarine or something less expensive. To me, butter is so expensive especially if you're not going to eat the end product.

[@rachelmick4051]

@@niecieyukiye6654 I would think so. In fact, it might make for a sturdier gingerbread.

[@rhommey111]

What a fun memory making activity! I bet your nieces and nephews will always remember going to Aunt Becky’s and making fun gingerbread houses that Sarah and Becky spent so much time and love putting together.

[@joannemelcher5044]

The best part is you two sisters spending the time together. What a lovely family you have. Blessed! Don't ever let these times slip away, this is what makes life worth living.❤

[@susanhamilton1707]

I spent the day with my older sister (5 yrs older than me) and her husband and my parents. My sister told my father to an Oncologist appointment and they took my mother with them. My mother has Dementia. My brother in law and I made a Christmas meal. We also vacuumed the house, dusted, did all our dishes and took out trash. We had more work that we could have done, but we ran out of time. My BIL and I worked well together and my sister and I did as well. My sister and I had a lot of differences in our past, but taking care of our elderly parents has created a strong relationship. Watching the two of you working together I see a lot of time we missed out on. Cherish your parents and your siblings. They are so important in life.

[@KateEASN]

First, I am so happy you and Sarah had this time together to just be sisters! I am stunned by how much work these were--but yall pulled it off! The finished houses were SO GREAT and I also loved your mom and dad's houses.❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

[@carolinecampbell1250]

I loved seeing your parents with their decorated houses!!

[@Lianasolo005]

I love the way Sarah doesn't take herself too seriously, she knows how to laugh at herself

[@Gigi_Era_]

Becky, this was so much fun, thanks for bringing us along!! Mom and Dad's houses were top notch. And I just love Sarah's giggle😊

[@mixmix3499]

You have a way of including your viewers so that we feel like we are there with you. Sarah is a great guest star as your other guests are as well. I smiled through the whole video. I hope to see a photo of the other two houses if the youngsters snapped a pic for you to share. Hope sarah and crew had a safe trip home. Your parents just beam with pride!

[@katherinez9654]

I am 63 years old and when I was me and my grandma made ginger bread men. I have the cookie cutter and her handwritten recipe. Treasures of time spent together that could never be replaced.

[@greenrockgarden2851]

🤗making memories for the littles! So worth your efforts. Thank you for letting us hang out with y’all. 🫶🏻 I would love to have a Bosch mixer as well. One day.

[@monmac7387]

Reading this made me smile remembering fun times with my grandma. So grateful for her time, love, and patience. ❤

[@kimberlywhite5795]

Nothing is better than spending time with your sister!!! You can see what a good relationship you have - it was great to watch!!! Everything turned out beautifully!!

[@MariaSapp-e2m]

I hope Sarah's family had a safe trip back to oklahoma. Loved the videos with all you guys! I hope to see more when she is back in town. Thank you for allowing us into your home. ❤

[@cweaver6792]

What a feat! WOW.... that is a lot of work, ladies! One thing I appreciate about you and your videos is that you leave in all the little mistakes that you make, and don't edit them out like most other content creators do. A lot of people are not experts, so can appreciate these bits of learning in your videos. Loved this one!

[@fendi5319]

It’s the oops parts I enjoy the most. How many times I failed to do things in order and have to decide if this is a fatal error or not. I loved watching all the decisions that had to be made. That’s what my kitchen looks like. ❤

[@paulaedwards8698]

Becky, you and Susan have it down packed and I must say that your sister is definitely holding her own. Great job together

[@gunther13101]

I think you 2 did a FANTASTIC job with these gingerbread houses!!!!! You work so well together and I’m sure you had a little bit stress figuring everything out, but also shared much laughter together. I hope you do this annually…..I think it will be something you both will look forward to each year!

[@BrendaBroyles]

It's two days after Christmas that I am getting to watch this. I loved seeing your sister in this video, and I think there is another one that she was in with you and your Mom. You know I always love seeing you and your Mom together. I wish you all lived closer so you could do these more often. Your whole family is so close and helps each other all the time.

[@viramandybur]

You two are quite the culinary force!🔥Thank you for sharing your love, humor, and family tradition with us...such a lovely video!

[@MJ-fb2zq]

What beautiful team work. 😍 thank you so much for bringing us into your kitchen Becky and Sarah, for being there to help out. This video is a keeper. ❤ looks like you really enjoyed each other's company. Thx again. Love it ❤

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

It's so wonderful to me that you have this kind of family. Thank you for making us feel invited. ❤

[@justme5544]

What a lovely memory for the kids... and adults!! Great job! The houses looked so good!

[@denisescruggs7367]

You ladies are both so blessed to have one another! I'm so glad to see you working on projects together while enjoying each other's company!💞

[@kknowles1422]

A few years ago I bought some gingerbread house cookie cutters. What a time saver. I usually make 6-8 houses each year for the family to decorate.

[@wendyrudder5809]

Awh Becky I love this !! You Sarah did a fantastic job putting those houses together. What great fun the kids must have had. You have a beautiful family ❤❤❤

[@kathrynstewart4927]

I'm really enjoying these videos with your sister. Hope this happens again when she visits home next. ❤🥰 Your Dad and Mom are so talented with those houses 🤩. You come from a very creative family. What a blessing they are to you and what a blessing you are to them❣️ 🥰Heaven made🥰

[@DieselsMuddie]

I just recently ( finally) bought myself a Bosch. Used it to bake all the cookies for christmas. I found the best way for heavy doughs like this is to use the whisk for the eggs, butter and sugar, and then switch to the dough-hooks for the flour and the rest. Works great.

[@mariettedemarest5173]

That's what I do too.

[@dannaallerton1068]

You both are creating family memories that will last FOREVER ❤️ The gift of those memories is priceless ♥️

[@patjones5723]

❤❤🎉❤🎉❤❤❤🎉 😊

[@brendareynolds2669]

Never surrender! I love the way y'all kept going ❤ Not only will your little family members have sweet memories, you and your sister will laugh about this experience and have great memories, too. There are so many things that people can spend money on that really have no meaning. Flour, sugar and a lifetime of memories sounds like a great way to allocate resources 😊 Love you and your channel ❤

[@071619571]

Love the sisters together! Sara is a gem. Please encourage her to start a You Tube channel. Also appreciate you leaving in mistakes.

[@Heidi.lin...69]

I love you guys i am currently a shut in because of health. your channel brings me so much normalcy and ideas when im not hungry and your delivery food sparks my appetite. GOD BLESS YOU

[@pamelaguardado5424]

I have absolutely loved watching your work with you Sister this Holiday Season. As well as your Mom. I absolutely love your family.

[@nadinecarson3259]

Where do I start…. Becky, watching this day brought back so many memories when I was growing up. What a beautiful day with your sister! Special memories. I love watching you & Sarah together. It’s so great seeing your Mom & Dad making their gingerbread house together & getting to enjoy doing this with their grands! A lot of work & enjoyment in this video but so worth it! I truly enjoyed watching!! Wishing you all a very happy & blessed New Year! 🌟

[@sarahwalbert9650]

I love you 2 together!! Nothing like making food and baking with family! Next time once it’s time to add the flour use the dough hook!!

[@coleenmayfield833]

I think you and your sister did an amazing job! You work so well together. I love your dads gingerbread house especially. So nice of your mom to provide the dinner. Everything looks amazing. I'm sure you all had a wonderful time.

[@tisherbug27]

You all have the patience of a Zen master!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T EVEN with the store bought ginger bread house pieces! I applaud you both. Looks great!

[@lorrainejones759]

What a grand time! I love seeing your family cherish their time together. I miss those cherished moments with my sister. Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

[@sobrietymatters]

So wonderful to see family videos. You are so generous to your viewers!

[@belindasanders7072]

What a wonderful evening! Oh the memories. ❤ & hugs 2 all. Thank u Pop Pop. God bless

[@kaylee912]

Hi Becky! Don’t clamp the clips on your crockpot. Those are for transporting your crockpot. Cooking with it clamped adds extra unnecessary pressure!

[@ElaineMarshall-bm9rl]

Lovely ginger bread houses. It's something I have never had as a child. It's nice to see you and sarah working together againx

[@Cyndimrktorres]

Aww what a lovely day for you all to share! Your parents are very blessed and we appreciate them for raising such wonderful children! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday and new year!

[@wendyhall8834]

You 2 made me giggle. It was like watching Lavern and Shirley in the kitchen😂

[@patjones5723]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@misssagacious]

Lol! I was thinking Lucy and Ethel!😅

[@Rachelmarie5272]

I have loved all the videos with your sister lately. And of course love when your mom is in them too. You have a great family and hope you have a great New Year!!

[@janfelshaw8217]

I have a Bosch and I’ve had one for 40 years or more. One thing I learned was that if you’re making cookie dough, just remember it is a dough and you should use the dough hook. It’s always worked for me and I haven’t had to buy another accessory.

[@Kiuan88]

Agree. I was telling the tv “dough hook, dough hook, dough hook” but she couldn’t hear me. 😂

[@CharlenePink-Dufresne]

I absolutely love seeing you work together with your family. I miss all of my family so, so much. We all live in different parts of the country. Everyone did a fantastic job on their gingerbread houses & men.😊 Wish you All a very happy & prosperous New Year! Tell your Dad thank you for the Christmas blessings, and I say the same thing back to your entire family. ☃️🎄😊

[@BrandiNNiNi]

The houses turned out adorable. Honestly Becky and Sarah, those who are on this channel to tell you how and what you do wrong by their eyes need to start their own channels. It's a lot of ingredients for a huge batch of Gingerbread and so what of it? All of them were treated with love! I personally just enjoyed watching and learning how to make it for my Grandchildren. Y'all focus on those of us who love and enjoy you sharing some of your time with us. I dont feel my job as a subscriber is to point out negativity. There's enough of it in this world. So enjoy your Holiday's!!❤

[@nixmor5333]

Oh I just love how well you and your sister work together, so lovely. Nice video as always Becky.

[@camicri4263]

That was so much fun for you guys! You will cherrish this memories for ever! So good to see Mark and Susan again! Merry Christmas! God bless you all!

Great way to create memories. And so lovely that your mom made dinner for all. Love a taco bar.

[@mariamikkelsen4803]

We make gingerbread houses every year from scratch but never these many. I had no idea there were other types of houses you can make (living in Europe). I'm impressed with you two taking on this challenge so beautifully. Thanks for taking us along as always, they turned out great! ❤💃

[@Old.gardener]

What wonderful memories you and Sarah will have as life goes on❤. Great job ladies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That looks like so much fun !! I really enjoyed watching this and how sweet of your Mom to bring things for a taco bar !!! The houses turned out great and so are the ginger bread men !! xx

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

I have enjoyed this whole series of videos featuring Sarah, and of course your Mom. Your holiday shop and prep videos with your mom are always one of my favorites on your channel, and the addition of your sister this time was an added bonus. Three sets of hands definitely helps to get the kitchen prep-work done. Happy New Year to everyone in the extended Acre Homestead Family!

Merry Christmas Becky and family. Thank you so much for posting this over the Christmas period. Totally unexpected! Much love to all 🥰🥰🎄🎄 xx

[@lisatruhett5555]

When the cookies get to point of adding flour, the dough hook attachment would work in the Bosch. Just trade out. Love watching you and love it when you two laugh together!! ❤

[@wandering5544]

@acrehomestead -- your sister's laugh makes me happy, and now I want to be her friend!! You two are a great combo!! Cheers!!

[@codyaustin8836]

Every year our family decorates gingerbread houses. We drink hot chocolate, watch Christmas movies and eat finger food and grandpa Ted’s fudge. We don’t throw a big Christmas party or do elaborate gifts, we decorate gingerbread houses as a family and it’s wonderful! At the end of the season we put our houses up on blocks for our chickens to enjoy!

[@teriparrish]

Love that you girls worked out all the kinks for us❣️

[@Patti-vj5kv]

It’s so special spending time with your sister. You both work so well together! I wish she lived closer to you so she can be a regular guest in your kitchen. She is a sweetie. What a blessing to have such a beautiful family! Thanks for allowing us in your kitchen. I pray you had a blessed Christmas and that you have a joy-filled New Year. Blessings🙏

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

I'm going to miss Sarah now that she's back home in OK. The two of you together are so much fun to watch. You remind me of my three daughters when they work on projects together or just spend time together.

[@celticgoddess81]

I used to sell Bosch mixers. :) In addition to the cookie paddles there is also a Bowl scraper attachment that goes on the mixer bar and scraps your bowl as it goes around. I think you should have used the whisk attachment for creaming the butter and sugar and then used the bread hook for adding all the sugar.

[@gaynellhilton3004]

What wonderful memories and beautiful Gingerbread houses! I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a wonderfully Happy New Year!

[@karencates5007]

Love that your sister could be in the kitchen with you! Also your mom and dad supporting you with dinner after your long time in the kitchen. I had tried a recipe for spiced ginger cookies and chilled the dough before I could roll into balls. Next time, I will add more flour because they were flat as a pancake but delicious.

[@carolranigler6912]
