The holidays are upon us, and as families decorate and light their Christmas trees, it’s also a time to reflect on their loved ones. In a touching tradition, Khloe Kardashian sent Vanessa Bryant a gingerbread house full of sentimental and beautiful details. Sincere tributes to the entire family, with a special nod to Kobe Gianna BryantWho tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash in 2020.
The gingerbread house took several hours to complete, a personal touch that made it incredibly special. On the roof, names of surviving members of the Bryant family – Vanessa, Natalia, CapriAnd Bianca– Beautifully written with follies. On the right, Kobe and Gianna’s names were emblazoned with angel wings.
The windows of the house each represented a different family member, and the front door featured four adorable gingerbread figurines, symbolizing the women who keep the Bryant family’s presence alive, filling it with love and magic.
Vanessa clearly appreciated the gesture, sharing the photo on her Instagram story, tagging Khloe and expressing her love. Khloé reposted it, adding, “I love you V!!!!!”
As The US Sun points out, expensive gingerbread houses have become a Kardashian family tradition since Kris Jenner introduced them in 2018. With a hefty price tag of around $1,500, each custom house is meticulously designed and looks like a true work of art.
The Kardashian-Bryant bond
The Kardashian family has always supported Vanessa, especially after the heartbreaking loss of her husband and daughter. Vanessa and her daughter Natalia were guests at Khloé’s 40th birthday earlier this year, and the two families have continued to show each other love and support over the years.
After Kobe’s death, Coco expressed her feelings on Instagram, “No one should ever have to feel what the families involved are going through,” she continued. “This has affected all of us so much but I can’t begin to imagine what Vanessa must be going through losing her husband and her baby daughter. I cry just thinking about it. I’m praying for the Bryant family, the Altobelli family and the families of all those killed in this unimaginable tragedy. Rest in peace legend.”
