This is Halloween, Halloween, Hall-O-ween!

It has been a Robinson Family tradition for several years now to make a Haunted Gingerbread House during the month of October. We usually make one while we listen to general conference, but this year we had to do it a week later.

This year, my parents decided that since we put in all the time to decorate it, we should be able to enjoy it instead of just leaving it at their house. So we made our very own Martin Haunted Gingerbread House for 2011. After 5 hours of precisely cutting and setting the gingerbread with melted sugar, and after frosting and using several types of candy, this is our final product. We are pretty pleased with it and hope you enjoy some photos.

It was difficult to really capture the ghost town we created in photos. But we sure had a good time making it together, and now we can enjoy the smell of Halloween sweets all month long. We also have one out of two wood crafts completed for this month. We've become quite fond of him!

Hope you have a Happy Halloween!!!
