Gingerbread (graham cracker:) Houses with Friends!

Branson was glad to see Josie and she packed him all over the house!

Kayson is walking like crazy and had a blast rearranging the advent calendar.

Moira testing the gummy bears/worms?

Jared was sizing pieces of graham cracker by nibbling them!

Jared's house soon became the frontrunner, he was a bit touchy about sharing supplies.

Then Brian started helping and it became epic, I think they are adding the basketball court here.  Braxten was busy testing the candy quality.

Braxten and his house, he did a lot of landscaping.

Note the sidewalk and the lacing on the "hoop".

A better shot of the hoop.

I believe they are now building the archery range.

Hugh gathered all the candy bananas for his masterpiece.

Hugh was thrilled with his final production.

Kaylee,s was cute but her gingerbread boy kept falling down.

A shot of the finished archery range.

Here they added a corral and a pool, they have yet to buy the livestock.

 The Fawsons and the Garns came over to create Christmasy houses and it was a blast.  Jared's construction instincts kicked in and it was epic.  The kids, big and little, spent a lot of time building and pefecting their houses but Jared and Brian stayed with it the longest and by far had the most landscaping/add ons by the time we were all done.  Josie came and helped make dessert, it was so fun to see her and get to spend some time together.  The kids are all ready planning on doing this again next year and I have been told I need to step up the quality and amount of supplies.  I love having good friends around.  Well (Cody) I hope you still feel like you are part of everything even with being so far away everyone thought of you and we made a video but for some reason it is not showing up on the computer so maybe next time:).  Merry Christmas and happy building!
