Candy, Caramel, Cool Crowd, and a dash of Chaos

Every year we have our annual "Haunted Gingerbread House" Family Home Evening. Of course, they're not that haunted, and they're not gingerbread, but we have fun nonetheless. My friend gave me an ingenius idea...I melted sugar on the stove and pre-made the houses for the kids. I just dipped the sides of the crackers in the liquid sugar, and put the houses together. The sugar hardens like a sucker, so those houses held up so well! Great idea! Here are pics:
Look at all that Candy!!!

We decided to make some caramel apples as well!

Ashley decided to make a "torture chamber". I think she gets these genes from her Grandpa Loveridge. (He has a guilloutine in his Law Office). Note the skeleton, used to be a man with a spear through him...:)

Here's the bigger picture...note the skulls atop sticks...what????

This is an "orange man" who has been, uh, "speared" also.

We held this during the U of U game...here are the die-hard fans, Michael, Marshall, and Tim:

We had an AWESOME night with everyone! Thanks again for all the treats everyone contributed! For me, one of the best nights of the year! Love you all!
