The Babcock's invited us over for a night of gingerbread-house-making madness. (This year the role of gingerbread was played by graham crackers. And, I must say, graham crackers are definitely the way to go, especially when kids are involved...much less chance of a cave-in.)
Marci had all sorts of Christmas candy goodness for the kids to stick all over their little creations.
Always one to explore his construction-worker side, Ian demonstrated the dovetail technique. This super-sturdy method made it possible to construct a tiny little chimney. It also involved a lot of tiny sawing. I've decided he'd make a great elf.
And Marci and I had some laughs of our own. (Marci's idea, of course.)
We had a great time! This might be the start of a new Christmas tradition. I can only imagine what Ian will bring to the table next year.
