Typically we do a gingerbread house this time of year. However, since we did not see them at Costco this year (yes, I do realize that they sell them other places) Eric and I opted to just make graham cracker creations instead. The original plan was to do houses like they do in elementary school. But I forgot that the key to those working is that they hot glue the graham crackers to milk cartons. So, rather than try and make the blasted things stand on their own, we chose to make creations with frosting and candy. I think the kids did a really good job. Andrew made a car with licorice wheels. Zane made a cowboy with two ropes. And Lucy did an abstract artwork showing her friends: Gabey, Joshua and Jamie.
