Graham cracker houses...

Tonight was our annual graham cracker house decorating for family and friends. We started this tradition several years ago when Brandon and Trent were young. We save up our Halloween candy, buy LOTS of graham crackers, make some royal icing and let the kids go at it. First of all, we had to eat.... so what would be better than chili dogs on a rainy day. Everyone came dressed for the occassion!
Let the decorating begin!

So MUCH candy..

Trent made one too. Looks like a future architect may be in the making.

Everyone is busy.Some of the houses and their designers. The decorators on the Food channel better watch out!

I think everyone had a good time...... the cool dudes chillin out...

... and even the ones that slept through it all.

About Me

My photo
Hi there everyone! I've noticed that a lot of people have a little life story on their blogs. So, always wanting to keep up with the latest BLOG trends, I've decided to put on a little blurb about my life for anyone that's interested. BUT, so no one is bored or has heard it all, I've put MY LIFE in ORIGINAL story form... Once upon a time there was a brown eyed girl, born of goodly parents, who set out on a journey. She traveled for a very VERY long time, through desert, mountains and forests and along the way she brought with her 6 wonderful treasures. But, alas, there were dark times, battles and dragons along the way, but she kept on going, with her treasures giving her strength and direction. Then in the desert, she met a blue eyed handsome prince, who had also been on a long long journey, and he had 2 treasures. So as you might have already guessed the ending.... the brown eyed girl and the blue eyed prince along with their treasures and a bunch more treasures, lived very happily ever after! Life is GOOD! It's party time now!
