We had our squadron friends Snakeye and Pam and their kids, B and E, over for dinner one night recently and Brian had been begging to decorate gingerbread houses so I thought this would make for a fun activity for the kids to do together. I couldn't find any of those awesome premade house kits here so I crafted my own out of graham crackers and royal icing, just like my Mom did when we were kids. Each child got a house and a plate of sugar. Fun was had by all! Note to self for next year: Dinner first, then Gingerbread houses.
The next day I walked into the kitchen to find my children had worked together to move chairs over to the counter where their houses were on display and were actively eating their houses. No one ate dinner that night either.
