One of the best Halloween traditions is when Grandma and Grandpa Trickett come over and build haunted gingerbread houses!
They come to our house bringing the houses premade along with all of the candy toppings, and let the kids be creative and decorate their own houses in whatever way they want...
They always help the little ones put enough frosting on though so that their candy will actually stick! ;)
Then their little wheels start turning and their little hands start decorating and before you know it...
...we have some pretty spooky creations! :)
Kesslyn's house was very colorful!
Kambriella's house was very creative with ghosts peeking out the windows!
Gavin's was very quaint with a candy corn campfire for the cat and ghost! :)
...and Dallin's was so SCARY! Literally a hot haunted MESS with speared kitty's on the roof, ghosts coming out from under the house, and melted candy corn drizzled all over the place! :0
The kids had a fun time with their grandparents, and what I really loved was how Grandpa Trickett taught a spiritual lesson about our homes and what we put into them, and that we are all unique and different in our own special way. We ended our time together by playing games, and then Grandma and Grandpa gave the kids this Halloween puzzle to work on together. They completed the whole thing in just about an hour and had a fun time working on it together.
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for loving out family and creating these fun memories with us!
