It's becoming a tradition to make gingerbread houses every year. We've done it the past few years and now the girls ask for it when December rolls around. It's easy to do with the ready-made kits. The kit has all the candy, royal icing, and gingerbread you need. Some kits even have the gingerbread framework already in place (that's the kind I like to get).
We only had one house this year so Haysannah decorated one side and Shalyce decorated the other side. It was a good lesson on planning ahead to make the right design (and to get the right piece of candy before the other sister got it). Their house turned out really well. Once they were done they asked if they could eat it! We put it on the counter for display, but every chance they had they snuck another piece of candy off the house. The house was bare bones in a matter of a few days.
While my mom was visiting...I even caught her taking a piece off. There's a kid in all of us!

We love making graham cracker houses! I will have to try a kit sometime. It sounds a lot easier =) Your houses look good!
