Gingerbread Houses

The teachers have come up with some pretty creative ways to get through this last week before winter break. Yesterday the first graders got to build gingerbread houses at school. We spread frosting, stuck on graham crackers and put lots and lots of candy all over. We also spent a lot of time trying to keep fingers out of frosting cans, candy out of mouths and the crackers stuck on the houses after the candy was on them. The kids had a great time and most of the parents did too. Our house made it until after dinner before the kids started to disassemble and eat it!
