We have tried to uphold an annual tradition with the chocolate house building and decorating fun.

It starts with one of the most fun parts – shopping at Sweeties Candy!

It is hard not to fill the cart up with sugary fun

They were all sold out of green gummy army men. But we have cows!

Pecan clusters bigger than the boys’ hands!

We made an extra house this year because we were going to have some friends join us on decorating day. But their kids got sick and had to stay home. We did deliver the supplies to them later. We didn’t need two chocolate houses in our fridge! We made mini graham-houses so each kid could have their own, and the big one was for the whole family.

The boys get focused

We will have to start a gallery of finished houses over the years. I don’t think this one will stand out as the prettiest, but it sure was tasty!
