Graham cracker houses




We have a tradition that after every Thanksgiving, we make graham cracker houses. We started out about 4 years ago and they were pretty simple then. As the years go on, they are getting a little more creative and sophisticated. At the jubilee of trees this year, I saw some cool ideas for the houses and we tried to implement some of them. One was a fence made from pretzel sticks. It was a lot harder than it looked! After an hour of working on the fence, I was finally satisfied. It didn't last long...D broke it within the first half hour of having them done. Fortunately, we took pictures right after we finished so there is proof I did it! We also tried using cereal for the roof this year. I think they turned out nicely. D loved working the frosting tube and G's creativity came out in her landscaping!
