Grahmn Cracker Houses

 It's time for our favorite activity of the year (I say that about every activity.) Sprout was so excited he sat at the table for 20 minutes before our friend arrived.

Our candy selection this year. :)

I just love these little gingerbread families.

 Let the building begin!!

The men were very involved!

I told Zach that one year Jakob made a sacrificial temple and so he decided to build on with some blood and a ginger bread stabbing some one. It was very festive.  

Well done Tiny Toblers

WE love the Dyches family. We have so much fun together and as always laughing. I'm so dang grateful for them!

It was a great night and I can hardly wait until next year.

Christmas Houses

Christmas Eve is here and our first order of business is to make some houses!!!

I LOVE Christmas houses!!! Its one of my favorite traditions and we just had to wait for Gramma and Pa to arrive to we could do it together!

Sprout just COULD NOT touch the candy. He had to have it.... all of it. He was abit better once he got some glue and started building a house. We eventually had him spitting out pieces if we'd catch him eating them. Poor guy. 

Looking good Bear!!

So much concentration :)

Final products!!!

Duke's.

Peanut's.

Pa's.

Jakob's... of course! Now onto more activities!!!

Graham Cracker Houses

Graham Cracker houses are a favorite tradition in this house! Laura gave us her left over candy which was AMAZING and we invited Piper and Michelle over. so many options!! 

Sprout didn't quite catch the vision at first. 

One for the house six for my mouth!

Such concentration!

This boy knows how to pose for a picture!

There was so much creativity going on!!

After they all finished E raced to the bathroom and started brushing her teeth. I asked her what she was doing and she explained that she had too much candy (five pieces) and that her teeth needed to be cleaned! It made me laugh!

Our completed works of art. Here is E's.

Duke's complete with a clock on the side and a pokey snowman!

Daddy and Sprout.

Mama.

This makes my heart so gosh darn happy!! All the heart eyes!

This was Michelle's first time make a house of any nature and she was really into it which was a lot of fun! I loved how her house turned out! 

Piper and Michelle! thanks for coming over friends! Best Neighbors EVER!
