More Gingerbread Houses

The children made Gingerbread Houses today (with varying degrees of help from mama!). We used dried fruit instead of lollies. After a while littlest chicken decided it would be more fun to lick the fruit and icing off the house...

They're nice little houses, anyway. I made my own template and it seemed to work (phew!). Now we'll see if they'll keep till Christmas... I'm not sure if my home-made gingerbread will keep that long... hmmmm.
