Candy Houses (a tradition continues)

One of the Christmas traditions we had when I was a kid was the yearly candy house decorating extravaganza. We didn't do gingerbread houses, we did graham cracker houses (I'm not really sure why, but probably because it was a. easier or b. cheaper or c. all of the above). Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and then we got to spend the next few weeks picking candy off our houses. Good stuff! So, now that my brother is home from his mission and we were in Utah around Christmas, we decided to revive our dormant tradition. My mom gave me a lesson on how to construct the graham cracker houses and I'm hoping to keep the tradition alive in my own little family.
