Gingerbread House Playdate

Sadie and Clara came over today for a playdate.  We decided to build a homemade (not from a kit) gingerbread house.  I had never built one, but I figured a few graham crackers, some icing and candy were all it took.  It took a few attempts to build a house that was sturdy enough to stand on its own.  I finally got the crackers in the right spots which made a strong house so the kids could decorate.  After some convincing to leave the playroom, Sadie came to the table and put some "flare" on the house.  Aiden was very excited to decorate and eat a few pieces of candy at the same time.  Ty and Clara were interested in the older kids' project for a minute, but when they realized they had candy, that was all they wanted, especially Ty.  He probably ate half of the m n m's. 

Our finished product!
After the kids put on just about all they could on the outside of the house, they put the remaining candy inside the house (notice m n m's & marshmallows).  It was a lot of fun having the girls come over.
