Most of you know my history with Gingerbread... it's shaky, at best. So this year, we're going to make Graham Cracker Houses instead. :)
Now, don't get your hopes up... even if we use graham crackers, the houses won't look like the one in the picture. :) But the kiddos will have a great time, cleanup will be a breeze, and we can all split the cost by bringing a contribution!
I'm going to assemble the houses the day before so they'll dry and the kiddos can decorate w/abandon. You RSVP # of children and pick what candy you'll bring from the below list (or be creative!) by leaving a comment here.
Losco Park, Friday Dec 18, 10:00. Bring a sack lunch, too. Merry Christmas!
**Candy Needs**
mini Candy Canes
Peppermints

box of snack size ziploc bags
roll of paper towels, baby wipes, 1 grown up pair scissors, and a whole bunch of Publix bags to take the houses home in w/o gooing up the car
hehe. your comment about the twizzlers crackers me up. I'm sure y'all will have a great time making those houses - make sure you take photos!
ReplyDeleteI can bring the TWIZZLERS (have a bunch leftover from making Kellen's birthday cake) and the snack-sized ziploc bags. (I can bring more, too, if needed - just wanted to give others a chance :)
