Gingerbread Houses

We have been fighting coughs and colds for quite some time now. Tis the season. Last week we stayed in the house one full day and kept ourselves busy with gingerbread houses and rice krispy treat choo choo trains. It dawned on me that my children have never had rice krispy treats before. Crazy since I remember my Aunt Liz making them every time we saw her and how much I loved them as a child. They were her specialty and it made me think of her as we made them here in Tokyo. They turned out well and were quite tasty, just like I remember as a kid.
