Gingerbread Houses

This is one of our most FAVORITE Christmas traditions. ever.  I have to say that this year the kids took it to the 'extreme'...lets just say I encourage creativity :)

the decorating:

{Oliver actually putting candy on his house...this didn't last long...you'll see}

{ugh. I should have noticed the messy couch in the background...I know it's not a big deal, but it's going to bug me. a lot.}

{Oliver discovers what is best about gingerbread houses & how cute is he? seriously.}

The finished products:

{Curtis}

{Owen's 'haunted' gingerbread house}

{Hailey}

{Elias...I need to add another, better picture of his}

{and finally...mine}
