Graham Cracker Houses
A family tradition, we put together mini-style gingerbread houses last Wednesday. I used graham crackers and had great success. The crackers are just lighter weight, therefore the houses don't collapse nearly as often. Of course it was a treat for the boys to all make their very own houses. I made gobs and gobs of icing (if any of my local friends need some for building houses let me know) and bought gobs and gobs of candy. The boys had a sugar feast. Wednesday was a day my nephew had no school so he was able to get in on it with us for the fun. Yum!
These are the sorts of projects the boys will remember all their days, I think. What a sweet memory maker! At Christmas time when we were small, my mom would bake cakes in the old foil trays that TV dinners came in and we would decorate those - they looked just like angels. I would do it still if I could find the same trays :)
