Candy Land

Last night for our FHE we made a Gingerbread Candy House, except we use graham wafers instead of gingerbread. I think it turned out pretty good.



Below is an aerial view of the property. Notice the park bench and its occupants on the left near the front.



Here is a nice view of the side and the lawn. I like the hot tub with its participants a little submersed (at the front on the right).

And this is just another view. I like the side sliding doors, and the smoke coming from the chimney!

I'm interested in this delicious property.... Are you considering selling? You could make a good real estate agent. You know know how to sell. :)

Cute! How fun! Tom and I made gingerbread houses with friends last Christmas...his turned into a sacrifical temple. He'd have to tell you more about it, but I know each gummy bear had a different storyline...

Well Alicia, I don't really see you as a buyer as much as someone looking for custom built and designed. Chris and I are a good time. I like designing, and Chris is a civil engineer - so you know it will be structurally sound. We'll talk and get you something just for you!

Of course if your looking for more historical or sacrificial (?!?!), you might want to talk to Tom instead.

So what is your eating policy on your house? Do you have to wait until Christmas or is that candy pretty much dried out? Now I want gummy bears and chocolate. Yum!

Well, pretty much we had a lot of candy that we bought, so while we were building it we both overdosed on candy. We also have extras, so I don't think we really will eat much of the house. Plus I'd like to keep it a little longer to show off.

Who knows though, I might come home one day and be missing a fence, roof, and hot tub!!
