Gingerbread Houses

We tried making gingerbread trains this year with a kit -- the kids were done by the time we put the four walls together on the caboose. However, they enjoyed eating the candy so by the time we got around to decorating it we were low on supplies.















Then last week we were invited to decorate gingerbread houses at the O'Keeffe's with a bunch of friends from our school and neighborhood. Peyton stuck it out until the end and his house turned out very cute. Ashley was more interested in playing with Ian's toys so Melissa and Sandy decorated her house for her. The tree made out of caramel apple wrappers was very cool before it got too warm and melted. But check out the hershey shingles and the stained glass window made out of gummy melons!
