FAMILY TRADITIONS

This is what happens when you have so much fun....

Every year my family makes gingerbread houses out of graham crackers. We started doing this when I was about five years old. Back then we used the little milk cartons you get from school to help us but we have come a long way. This was a tradition we started with my Grandma Nicholls and we have always loved it. We have decided to carry it on even though she is gone. It is a good way to remember her. Riley was so fun to watch she loved making her house with the help of her daddy. He is such a good dad she loves him so much.

How fun! I didn't know you guys did that. So much easier than making gingerbread! Smart idea, Grandma Nicholls.

That looks like so much fun! Candis has started doing it too with her kids. Last year she cooked and made her own gingerbread, but this year she bought a kit and said it was a heck of lot easier! I think grahm crackers are the way to go tho:)
