Houses Sweet Enough to Eat

Here are our annual gingerbread houses! We meet up with the Drakes and the Carters every year at grandma and grandpa's house and the kids each make a candy-filled creation. Seven houses take a lot of frosting, candy and graham crackers, and make a BIG mess. (Grandma says she doesn't mind though.) We started this tradition several years ago and the kids look forward to it every year. It really is lots of fun. I have always added some of my touches to the youngest kid's house. Emma really wasn't wanting my help this year, so next year I may have to make one of my very own! Drake, Emma and Jack with their "sweet" houses.

Jack ate more than he decorated.


Emma did not want any help this year!
