Gingerbread Graham Cracker Houses
A long time ago in a land far, far away I was a perfectionist. Then I had more children than I could count on one hand. I stopped worrying about perfection and became more interested in the “fun” factor. It is much more fun for my kids to make lopsided, over frosted graham cracker houses than it is for them to watch me make a perfect gingerbread village.

The kids had a blast making these houses and they learned a little in the process – If you cover your “roof” with gumdrops it will probably collapse. Maybe one day they will grow up to be home builders or architects.

    I never thought of that! I hate the idea of spending money on a gingerbread kit, and I dislike gingerbread too much to make it myself. But graham crackers… too late for this year, but next year we’re definately doing this!

    That looks like so much fun! I bet that’s one of your $1 table cloths from last year!!!

  5. Hello Happy Housewive!

    I really appreciate that you gave up perfection. I was the same and have also given it up and found that life is much more fun that way!

    Merry Christmas!

    Love, Hope
