Gingerbread Houses

A new tradition we started this year: Gingerbread Houses

I wanted to be able to listen to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, so I thought, that in order to keep the kids quiet, their hands would need to be busy. The kids ended up decorating gingerbread houses (I went the easy way and used graham crackers) while we listened to the broadcast. The kids had such a fun time doing it. Spencer's house was minimalistic. Logan's was filled with candy. Lindsey's house had the candy all patterned and organized. Kaylen's house was candy overload. We ended up with the crusty frosting all over - the chairs, the cabinet knobs, and the kitchen faucet.
