Gingerbread houses

Ever since I was a little girl our family would build gingerbread houses and make a gingerbread village. We've kept this tradition with all of the munchkins and this year the boys REALLY got into it. Coleman wouldn't let me eat any candy and wouldn't eat any himself until he was completely done...except for a candy cane. Carter on the other hand did a lot of "sampling" as he went along. :o)
