Haunted Gingerbread Houses

One of our favorite Halloween traditions is decorating Haunted Gingerbread Houses. We all love it! I pre-assemble the houses using graham crackers & a hot glue gun. So much easier & faster! That way we don't have to deal with the crying & frustration of the kids not being able to put their own houses together. They just get to go straight to decorating! Even though all the houses start out looking the same, they are very different by the end of the night. We invited Ryan & Shannon's family to come join in the fun.
Averee is getting pretty good at this!
Reese did a lot better than I expected...such a cutie!
Owen used more frosting than anyone else...he kept burying his candy in piles of frosting!

Adee & Megan hard at workAll the kids really enjoy this annual tradition. And the mess is TOTALLY worth it!
