Gingerbread (Not Really)

We made gingerbread houses (only we used graham crackers) at my sister's today.

We all had a lot of fun, and not only because we got to eat candy.

We tried putting the royal frosting in decorating bags, but it was too stiff to squeeze out well.

My sister and her oldest son working hard.

Julius and his cousin tested out the candy for us.

We moved to just using knives and our fingers to put the icing on.

 Daphne finished her house.

That is a lot of icing Mo.

Trip helping Julius.

My cute nephew.

Ocean and Lily working on their houses.

My sister decorating the house Rez abandoned.  

Here are all the houses.

Daphne's house.

Julius's house (he had help from Dad).

Lily's house.

And the other side.

Ocean's house.

This was Harvey's house.  He slipped on his chair, and fell on it, smashing it flat.

 

So, we rebuilt it in to this.

On the way home, he dropped it and it broke to pieces again.

Here is Mo's house.  He was so proud of it.  He was holding on his lap on the ride home and Trip went over a bumpy stretch of road.  The first bump lifted the house off the plate, the second bump smashed it flat.  He was not happy.
