Last night was our designated night to assemble and make beautiful some graham cracker huts. Word to the wise: don't use frosting from a store to assemble them; it doesn't stay together.
Here's our before shot - with three standing structures waiting for candy goodness.
This is the one and only time Carson actually put anything on the house; I put the other candies on, and he spent the entire time removing and devouring sweets. A regular Hansel.
See? Told you not to assemle with the soft stuff. We had a mini-meltdown before she realized that she could frost, decorate and eat the smaller graham crackers more easily than the whole house.
Evie got super creative and made an outline of a door using Mike n Ikes. She was so proud!
What a simple night, not much stress, and they all really enjoyed their time! I'm so glad that I'm at least trying to create some traditions and memories, even if it doesn't seem like much to me compared with my childhood memories. I hope they look back on these as fondly as I do my own pictures of similar events!
