Gingerbread (Graham Cracker) Houses

In keeping with our holiday tradition, we made faux gingerbread houses. The kids have been looking forward to it for days. Mark and Stephanie were able to join us.


The mess we made. The houses we built, mostly the memories are the important
part, but we did have some cool houses.
This is Mark's house. Outhouse with plumbing problem on left. Broken down truck in right side of front yard. Tires against the "Bait Shop"


The little gingerbread men on the roof are actually "roofers". Poor Collin's little house kept falling in, so we covered it in glue (icing) and put multiple layers of roofing on.


Yes, this is one of the areas where Lee acts like a kid. He had a
great time, making a "slate roof" with candy.

Caleb was pretty interested in arranging and eating the candy.
But he had fun, it's all that matters!

Get the perfect angle!! Will it work?


The master creates his roof while supporting the sides.



I am eating candy and I love it!! I refuse to eat the icing, though,
. . . . .you aren't supposed to eat "glue"
