Graham Cracker House Decorating with OMA

While visiting with my grandmother at the beginning of December, she reminded me that she used to decorate elaborate gingerbread houses with my great-aunt every year when their kids were growing up.  I'd been thinking about doing graham cracker houses with my kids this year, so I asked her if she'd want to join us and she did.  The following Saturday night, I enlisted the other adults' help and Suz and I assembled the houses while the Bens made boards for us (and the kids watched "The Santa Clause").  On Sunday, Oma came over for dinner and graham cracker house decorating and it was really great.  I thought I had tons of candy but when all was said and done, there was hardly any left, haha.  We had fun seeing what everyone came up with, and of course sneaking gum drops and red hots when we thought nobody was looking.
