CANDY HOUSES!

It's a tradition at the Wilkins home to make Graham Cracker houses at Christmas time. It is something my brother and I always enjoyed doing growing up, and now it is my kids turn to enjoy these candy houses. They had a great time making their houses, and to my surprise they did a fantastic job (not that I am bias or anything).

CARSON'S MASTERPIECE FROM START TO FINISH
It was so much fun to watch Carson focus so hard on something. He was very intent on where he wanted everything to go, and I don't think I have ever seen so much licorice in one place. I am still amazed that his house never caved in!!

ELLIE'S MASTERPIECE FROM START TO FINISH

I was so impressed with Ellie's house! It turned out so good and she took alot of time making patterns with the candy, and making sure everything was perfect (she might have a little of her mom in her, haha!)

HUNTER'S ALTERNATIVE TO MAKING A MASTERPIECE
Even though Hunter wasn't able to make a graham cracker house this year he was pretty happy just eating the housing material. I think you'll be able to graduate to the construction crew next year dude!

Well here are the final masterpieces in all their glory!! I love this tradition and the kids loved doing it as much as I enjoyed watching their creative minds at work!
