This is a fun tradition we started this year~ homemade Gingerbread Houses. In sticking with our no refined sugar theme (almost) we made them out of homemade graham crackers (easier than gingerbread), cream cheese icing and a delicious assortment of other goodies from around the house. Unsweetened cocount for the grass, dried apricots for the trim around the house, raisins for the roof trim, almond slivers for the shingles, natural black licorice for a chimney and tree trunks, and fruit twists for the sidewalk- we just put it all together as we went. The one bogey was the Earth's Best Lollipop trees that made it into the scene. Oh and our new health food store in Colorado carries All Natural Food Coloring, I am in heaven and Luke loved the splash of color. It was a three day affair to make the house. The first day we spent making and baking the graham crackers. The second day on the icing and the last day we put it all together. Luke enjoyed eating it for another three! Lots of laughs out of this one~
