Graham Cracker Gingerbread Houses


I don't know why I never thought of making gingerbread houses out of graham crackers! It was so much cheaper than buying each kid a $9  house from Walmart!

 

We used store bought icing to glue them together and we let it set up overnight.
    

Toppings!
   

More toppings!
 

My handsome husband Kyle! He made the royal icing with egg whites and powdered sugar.
  

Mine! The kids all made fun of my snowmans nose : (
 

Jacksons (my 5 year old) reindeer...so cute.
 

Tylers (my 12 year old)...love the covered walkway.
 


Colby's (my 10 year old)
 

Aidan's (6 years old)
    
Jackson added Santa to his reindeer!



The kids had a lot of fun!
