Crinkled Oranges

Tonight we had

our annual gingerbread house activity (though we do it with graham crackers).   We had Natalie and her friends, Trent and Kelly to dinner.   I think Misty and Tiffany will especially appreciate these pictures.  They've never seen Natalie's friend, Trent.

 Then we had them pick out candy from the candy store for the houses.


 Then the fun started.
Gary kept harping on making them structurally sound, and as much as I hate to admit it, I should have listened.  My cute little cottage collapsed and I made it into a snow covered Y mountain.

Kelly's ended up looking like an ark, so she added the very clever animals to finish it off.



 Natalie made a very innovate home with lots of cool details.
 Gary made a very unique structure with snowmen coming down a fire pole.
 Trent made a tank, complete with rotating turret.


 It was a very fun evening.

That looks like a lot of fun! You are still the cool Mom with baked goods, candy, and entertainment on hand all the time.
