Family Fun!

Our family REALLY likes Halloween, so we decided to invite the rest of the family over for a fun night of making caramel apples, and spooky haunted gingerbread houses. Thanks to my mother-in-law who already had the houses, Emily and I took charge of the caramel apples. The apples turned out good, except the caramel got too hard too quick, so we had trouble getting our fun toppings to stick! Any ideas out there??? We tried putting cream in the caramel, but then it got too thin. What to do? We were able to keep some goodies on our apples, like sprinkles, nuts, cookie crumbs, choco chips, and we also drizzled chocolate on them. It was really fun! The kids seemed to really like it too. The gingerbread houses were fun too, but very time consuming. Luckily, I have an artistic husband that kinda took over. Ours turned out good, but Jeremy got bored with it and stopped being as creative as he could've been. Jake and Emily's turned out really good. Better than ours! They went all out! Well, thanks family for a fun night. Maybe we'll try it again next year!

I had my camera on a weird setting on accident, so not many pictures turned out...rats!
