I looked at the store and Alex couldn't eat the gingerbread house kits that they sold everywhere because they had milk/egg in them. So onto plan B. I thought I'd get gram crackers and regular icing he could eat, lots of candy, and we'd make one on our own. Well that sounded a lot easier than it was. The icing didn't harden like the box kit....well duh...I guess I should have thought that one through. The good news is Mike thought quick on his feet, we'll just make a gingerbread TRAIN! It took me a second to let the great idea sink in, but the boys are 2 and 4 and had candy and icing in front of them, I'm pretty sure they were up for anything. So we made a pretty good little choochoo train. The boys loved it - ate WAY too much candy - so did me and mike. It was good cheap family fun together. We'll definately do it again next year, although I might look up a new recipe for the icing :)
