Gingerbread houses...well, sort of.

We have never believed in baking delicious gingerbread and then wasting it on houses that will get stale and then trashed. Thus and verily, we use graham crackers. Always have, always will. They work perfectly and are just the right size. A few weeks ago, for family night, we put some together with friends. This was the first year that we made the frosting from scratch. I usually just buy a tub 'cause, well, it's easy. This year, we learned that making it from scratch is also easy and WAY more effective. It worked perfectly and the kids had a great time.
