Christmas Construction

This year we decided to build our gingerbread houses out of graham crackers. We had a deliciously fun time working together.

Picasso carefully decorated his cottage, a train, and even a snowman before eating the rest of his treats. Except for the peanut M&M's which I ate for him.

Cowboy ate a bunch of his treats and plenty of frosting, then used the rest to spruce up his version of "the building that touches the clouds." He became fascinated with the Empire State Building after Dad's trip to New Jersey and decided to help me construct one according to his own personal design.

Farmer and Miss Wendy worked together. She chewed up the candy to make it nice and soft, then he molded it into interesting shapes to decorate their little house.

Unfortunately, our lovely little village was short lived. It met with a terrific natural disaster the next day when three very hungry monsters attacked. The colorful decorations were consumed, the buildings smashed, and the ruins were thrown out to be eaten by our cat, Cucumber, and her "bad cat friends". Oh well. Maybe next year we'll build a veggie village!
