a gingerbread house.

Well, I helped Eliot make it anyway.

Last year Elecia made "gingerbread" houses for all the kids to decorate at Mom's on Christmas (or was it Thanksgiving?). Anyway, they're graham crackers pasted together with icing, then the grandkids get to decorate them with all kinds of candy using icing for glue.

They had so much fun that she decided to do it again this year. I didn't think Eliot was big enough to be interested, but sure enough, he carefully stuck rows of gumdrops to his roof, one by one.

Until he saw the M&M's, and then he started shoveling candy into his mouth and lost interest in the house. ;-)
