"Gingerbread" houses at Gram and Papa's

We love making graham cracker "gingerbread" houses every year.  The kids have it down to an art now.  It is all about how much candy you can fit onto your house.  If you can make it pretty along the way that is great.  The kids are really creative too.  We pair our kids up so that we don't have 9 trays to transport and display.  

It is a lot of fun to watch them build and play with cousins.

My dad's cousin Sandy joined us this year.  She came down from Superior, Wisconsin, to defrost and have some fun with all the kiddos.  She is one of the most warm and loving people on earth.  LOVE HER!!!

I love this one!  Richard has such a tender spot in his heart for my sisters.

Here are the finished products.  Josh and Laney were partners.  

Tim and Sara worked created this work of art.

Daniel and Susanna made a hotel.  They were so proud!

Nate and Drew made a fort, complete with cannons.  

Thanks Gram for millions of graham crackers, tons of pounds of frosting and candy and lots of love!
