For two years running we have made our own gingerbread for the houses. Eric makes the sheets of gingerbread cookies as he is the one that wants gingerbread and not just graham crackers (I'm not a fan of gingerbread). We found a pattern and cut eat of the kids their walls and roof and then put them together.

We use left over Halloween candy and what ever else I may have purchased or Grandma Hibbert may have sent in packages. Sometimes the kids are creative, some times they just want to get all the candy on their house. Sometimes they start out organized and then start taking so long that parents tell them they have so many minutes left and then they slap stuff on. Then we have to find places to move the "neighborhood" until demolition begins. These pictures were taken Dec 24, 2012

After mid-January the kids have to pick off whatever candy they want to keep and it goes into plastic bags to be eaten over the next three to four months.
