Gingerbread Houses

Modified: · Published: by · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment
The last two times we hosted Thanksgiving here at our house we did a fun activity with everyone.  After the main meal was complete, my Colonel and I pulled out some pre-made gingerbread houses and everyone went about decorating them. They're easy to do...nothing fancy, just use graham crackers, store-bought icing and tons of CANDY.
