Sugar Cube Houses

One of the family traditions we had while growing up.
Was the building of Sugar Cube houses.

Which are similar to Gingerbread houses.
Only you use Sugar cubes to build the house, with a sugar frosting to stick all the cubes together.
Before decorating your creation with a ton of different candy.

It's one of my favorite traditions.

Some years my house would be better than others.
But it was just fun to see what each of us created every year.

Dad would always create a cathedral church of some kind.
While Mom would then go through and decorate it with candy.

But as we got older, and moved out.
The tradition of making Sugar Cube houses has taken a couple of hiatuses.
Just because we can't always get together each year to make the things.

Tonight we went to a Family Friend's house as they invited us to participate in making and creating Sugar Cubes.

It was fun.
It's been a few years since I've been able to come up to do it.
So it was nice to just relive childhood for a bit.

It was kinda soothing 'gluing' the sugar cubes together.
Creating the foundation. 
Building the walls.
Creating the windows and door.

It was fun and I enjoyed myself. 

My house even has managed to stay up! :D lol
Which is amazing considering our chocolate bar roofs were the most unstable as they were breaking and melting rather easily. :S 

Overall though. :D
It was fun. ^^;;

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
