Gingerbread houses



Every Holiday season, Great Aunt Tish in Vermont sends Graham and Julia a Williams Sonoma Gingerbread house...we still have it sitting on the Dining Room table. Last year, at age 3.5, Graham and Julia opened it and started eating it upon its arrival...this year, at 4.5, they 'chilled' on that idea.
 
Perhaps because we made our own Gingerbread houses. The houses were assembled (thank you, Safeway!) and, with the help of frosting, gumdrops, marshmallow snowmen, M&Ms, candy canes, and all types of 'stuffster' voila! Graham and Julia created imaginative houses...well, they did eat a few of the decorations..
