Gingerbread Houses

Our next fun activity was building gingerbread houses. I wanted to do more with my kids this Christmas, rather than less, so due to my crazy life the fine tuned quality got put out the window and I was happy to just get things done!! So, we used Graham Wafers and thick icing, rather than making actual gingerbread houses!! I mean, come on!! I have SIX kids. Can you imagine how long that would take?



Briton Loved Decorating His House!


I made the two little boys houses and covered them with icing and then I gave them each a bowl of decorations so they could decorate. I *thought* about putting all the candies in the bowls (as I had previously planned) but then I realized that I don't care *how* good your children are, they are human. There might be fighting over the candies and toddlers licking fingers and touching everyone else's candies. So, I divided them all into bowls and everyone was happy!

When Colt came home from school he had fun decorating his house. He was very creative creating a Ski Lodge complete with a gabled entrance.



Here is a little view of the boys decorating their houses.
