assembling
this is how jayne felt about the whole thing
decorating
almost done
i know...i have silly children...We decided to make a graham cracker "gingerbread" house since we don't care for the ready to assemble kits you can buy at the store. have you ever tried to actually eat one of those? i don't know if you're supposed to, but richie and i did try one year and nearly broke a tooth!
so, we used graham crackers and strawberry (from a can) frosting. i was just too lazy to make frosting, but it turned out just fine. we decorated the house with skittles and gummy bugs, and the kids loved it! we might have to make a tradition out of this!

I love your silly girls. :) And thanks for making me have to make houses too. j/k...kind of.
You should try the gingerbread molds at jwright.com. That's what we use at our house. We love them. Though of course you won't be able to eat that house on these either unless you make it out of chocolate.
What a GREAT idea!!
Looks like fun! Our kids always enjoy decorating, and of course eating a ton of candy!
we never eat the gingerbread after we make the house, just pick off the candy! For the first time this year we had the ones from the store instead of the grahm cracker ones, only becuase i bought them on clearance for 1.50 last year! :)
