Gingerbread houses

The 2nd annual Porter Gingerbread House competition went much better than last year.
I made the base of the houses earlier in the day so that the frosting would be dry (unlike last year when the candies were too heavy for the still warm frosting). We also had Shane's sister and her cute family over to join us!

I was glad I'd gotten extra graham crackers when this kept happening! So frustrating!

Finished the cutting!





I helped Lexi, Shane helped Ari, Val helped Ryley, and Kaden did it all by himself!
Ari just wanted to eat it. hahaha
Ryley did a great job!
Nom, nom, nom...
Lexi came up with the idea of a "fence" all around it. So creative!

Kaden wanted pictures of every angle...
He did an orange fence. :)
Kaden's car.
Kaden did a very basic car last year. This year he added a gummy-person inside it and headlights. 
Next year's will be bigger! :D
