Emery mostly ate, not much building went on with her house.

So, here's another late post that I'm just getting around to doing. It's not as late as you may think however, because it was a belated Christmas activity. We never got around to doing it at Christmas time, so a couple of weeks ago we put together gingerbread houses for family night, I think it may have been right before Chase left for Texas.

We used a ton of candy and graham crackers. The kids had a lot of fun building, decorating, and eating their houses. I was impressed with what they came up with. Chase also built a house and accused the kids every couple of minutes of stealing his ideas and copying him. Anyway, when we were all done I was trying to take pictures of the kids with their houses, when Bailey's had an accident. She was able to recover from the tragedy fairly well with some quick repairs.

I had my parents and my sister who was home from school come down and do the judging of the houses. Each house won a special award!
