Our Homes

For Bryan's family's Annual December Family Home Evening we made our gingerbread houses. I didn't want to buy a kit and I felt too lazy to try and make real gingerbread. We did the opted for graham cracker houses. Although when we got to Family Home Evening we were pretty much the only ones (until Bryan's cousin and his family showed) that actually made a house out of something editable. Most of his extended family made their homes out of boxes and wood. One nice thing about having a man in the construction field is our house is very strong and durable. We made a little house for Claire to decorate and also one for Bryan and I. Claire had a little help (thanks Grandma Lois and Grandpa Don). Claire loved eating more candy then she put on the house. She put a lot on the house so that should tell you something. Here is a picture of our graham cracker homes. We had such a great time. It was fun to see how much Claire loved to do it.

Of course Claire's house is the littler one. She put Pez all over the roof and she loved putting the fruit loops on it. I think she ate the more fruit loops than anything. We used pieces of gum for our roof. We thought it was rather creative of us. Its the first time we used gum. We had fun making these houses. What do you think?
