We were supposed to do this a week ago, but I haven't had time to go get the stuff and actually get it done. Today was the day. I tried to make sure they all ate a good breakfast so their day wasn't just candy, but I didn't succeed completely. Grandma came to help and the kids were way excited about that. We started with these little "Chinese" boxes as the base and covered them with graham crackers and candy. The kids were all very creative, except Stephen who just threw a bunch of candy in a pile on his tray. I nixed that quickly. It was funny to watch how often they ate the candy or frosting. I got pictures of almost all of them eating something. My complete collection is on FB. It only lasted about an hour, but they all had a good time and some of them were even eaten within minutes of being finished. My good camera had a dead battery so these are from my old one. 
Chelsey started off pretty slow, but hers turned our really cute and Christmas-y.
Whitley was a master designer with a yard and everything.
Brooklyn also put a lot of thought into hers
Nick made a worm house. It has a worm coming out the front door. If you look closely, you may think there are phallic symbols, but it was purely innocent.
After destroying his "candy pile" he decided to create a scene of snow crashed skii-ers or something like that.
Rhett mostly did the yard cuz he said it was too hard to get it on the crackers.
Dalin's was a puzzle house. He struggled getting the crackers to stay on in one piece.
Katy's was just as cute as she is. Thanks Gram.
Bo never really did finish his. He said the gumdrops on top were lots of chimneys. We were cleaning up and he realized everyone was eating theirs so he went right to that.
This is our little village, minus the two that were already eaten.
