Blackfoot Gingerbread Houses

On Christmas Eve, the Holloways assembled their gingerbread houses--this time in Blackfoot. Mama Holloway cut the graham cracker walls and roofs, Cassie and Mark provided the decorations, and Travis made the icing. We all had fun creating (and eating) our houses.

Here's mama Holloway cutting the graham crackers:

Here are mom and dad Holloway making their

gingerbread house, with Megan and Gavin as

their inspectors. Notice mom's "nipple"

decoration (later turned into a holiday

wreath). Oops =)

What a cute little on-looker Megan is!

I thought this scene was so precious--Grandma Lita

telling Gavin all about their gingerbread house. He's

such a smart little guy.

Gavin's favorite task was to test taste

all of our candy decorations (a very important job).

And as he had no complaints, all of the decorations

were a go!

Gavin and Megan's parents, Mark and Cassie

Black, making their gingerbread house:

Cassie talked to Chelsi, our sister, as she decorated

her gingerbread house, and Mark worked away

on their mansion.

Travis' brother, Tyler, working on his complicated

gingerbread design:

Trav's sister, Tia, came in to help him out (it all

worked out, by the way, and ended up looking

really great).

Here's my sweetie working on our traditional

graham craker gingerbread house.

Our finished product...yum! (Notice our little

outhouse--my idea, and the tree with a star on

top--Trav's creation). We were pretty proud.

We all had a fun time making our

tasty treats, and a nice little Holloway

village!
