Gingerbread House

What could be more fun than a bowl of candy and icing??  Since Garret is on Christmas break he spent the day with us one day last week.  When she dropped him off I told Traci I was excited to have him over cause he and Hudson would just play all day and I might get some work done.  WRONG!!  I spent the whole day refereeing the two: "He won't let me do this.  He lied to me.  He hit me."  And it went both ways.  By naptime I had had enough so I packed them up and took them over to my mom's! 
She had a fun treat waiting for them and they got along much better the rest of the afternoon - or maybe I just think that cause I ignored them and let someone else referee instead!   But regardless, they made some nice gingerbread houses - and didn't eat too much of the candy while they were at it. 




Hudson's finished product.  He did eat a few pieces of candy off of it during the week!

And my gingerbread (ok, graham cracker) nativity.  My original plan was to have Hudson make one of these, but then I realized it would be too hard for him, so I gave it a try instead.  Next year I think I'll try it again and get some different candies so I can make wisemen and shepherds too.
