My sister-in-law Karen had a lot of fun using her artistic self to decorate one for her family. 
We had a family that I adore over. And I think they may have enjoyed decorating the houses more than my family!
Check out all that candy!
I made gingerbread houses for the adults to decorate- one per family. I made graham cracker houses for all the little kids so we adults wouldn't have to share the real gingerbread houses. And it was a hit. The little kids had so much fun. I know Danielle isn't so little, but she really enjoyed making her own. She told me later she hoped next year she could have her own real gingerbread house to decorate. Yah, not going to happen unless she makes it herself. 
Gavin was even able to participate. 
Nathan and his cheesy smile. He had a great time too. 
Spencer and Danielle went to town on the candy. Their main complaint was that I didn't make the board big enough for them to make a bigger yard filled with candy. They caught the vision of whatever candy they put on their house was theirs to eat later. Smart kids. I always thought of candy as a means for decoration. Not my kids. 
Here are the houses before we started decorating. 
And the kids table all set up and ready to go. 
That's a lot of candy!
