Gingerbread Houses

We got together with our friends to do a Family Home Evening and make gingerbread houses. This was my first experience making a gingerbread houses believe it or not, but it was pretty fun...messy, but fun. We did cheat and use graham crackers but that was fine with us since it was all of our first times. We had dinner before starting working on our houses so that's why Alex's face is so dirty. Ü

We had so much fun doing these houses this year. We might just have to make it part of our Christmas tradition. Thanks to the Russell's for letting us invade their home and make such a huge mess. But the night was definitely a hit.
