Candy Houses

Last night we whipped up a little frosting and made some Christmas candy houses. Needless to say the girls were excited to stick candy to crackers with frosting, eating both along the way.

The girls were so proud of their houses!

Where is Russ' house, you may be asking yourself? His is still sitting on the counter waiting to be finished. Russ sacrificed his house to hold Logan while we got to play with the candy. What a good Dad!
