Gingerbread Houses

This year I took the easy way out...I used graham crackers (something I would never normally do...but I did and it was great) we had a lot of fun...
OWEN
Owen said his was full of traps (around the house)...I guess he didn't want anyone eating it...even though he took a bite out of the top the second he was done. The graham crackers lying around are "things you throw at people that spin around"...he is such a boy :)
Hailey
Hailey did the most work...the sucker glued to the side of her house is supposed to be one of those giant blow up snow globes (that you see at wal-mart) with Santa inside. The giant graham cracker on the side is a "gate". She was very creative, cutting and squishing things into something else...she also made a snowman & Santa going down the chimney.
Curtis

Curtis had fun...and made a mess...I think he was happy to be playing with candy and frosting (and eating it too) :) "The Chocolate chips were mini trees and the frosting was the bushes that the mini trees were in...and that's all" (or so he says) :)

EliasIsn't it beautiful...:)

and Mineall I will say is... I was teased for being a perfectionist the whole time (and it is not even close to perfect) :)

That looks like the perfect little house you would make...I know you had fun too! Lots of fun for everyone by the looks of it.
Each of the kids looks great, each are very creative...yours too, Elias!
