Gingerbread Houses

Even before our trip started, Evie got it in her head that she REALLY wanted to make a gingerbread house.  So both Sabrina & Kevin and Joe & I purchased kits that were on sale after Christmas.  Sabrina & Kevin's set had a few small, adorable houses, and we bought a couple of big gingerbread house kits.  The adults struggled to assemble the houses, and then the kids gleefully decorated them.  Henry was mostly just interested in eating the candy, but the older kids really got into it.  It was such a great activity for a couple of quiet afternoons at the house.
