When I saw them on sale on Black Friday I thought "What is a little mess?" I am so glad that I bought them. What a blast it was to make these little candy houses. So early on Sunday morning I started to put them together and waited for them construction of the houses to dry. My sister and La-La picked up some extra candy just in case we needed a few more pieces.
Anna and Hans enjoyed most of the gummy rings and sour patch kids before we got started decorating the houses. Anna would taste the sour patch kids then say "Share" and give it to Hans. I guess she is learning.
I think they turned out pretty nice for our first time around.

I am impressed! You are making such wonderful memories for Anna and for you too!
They look great. We have one to make too. Maybe next weekend.

Wow! They came out great! We've done one every year the past three years and I have yet to get ours looking that good. Love the roof tiles on the one.
That's one of our holiday traditions also. And here's a great way to "cheat" if you don't actually plan to eat the house: hot glue the house together. I started doing that after having the hardest time keeping the houses together. Cover the seams with icing, and nobody will ever know. ;)
Very nice houses!
Thanks for the good idea, Anonymous - I'll have to try the hot glue this year, as last year my roof kept sliding off and finally collapsed the entire structure. Grr! :-)
They look great. Wow, that's a lot of candy!
I want to make one with Isabel this year.
Joy,

Looks like you're enjoying all of the wonderful things that come with having children. Not sure if you have our new blog address - I saw our old one in your blogroll link list. The new address is: http://withtwopugs.blogspot.com
