Gingerbread house!

Over Christmas break we made this ridiculously awesome gingerbread house. Well at least I was impressed by our skills. It started out with Daniel, Anna and I assembling one of those gingerbread house kits. The creativeness just went from there....

Daniel decided to make a car, which turned into a snow plow. Meanwhile Ethan and Tiana were making sugar cookies. We used a few of their bear sugar cookies for our house. We have a bear driving the snow plow, we also have a bear as Santa Claus going down the chimney- equipped with a bag of toys, a beard, and a red hat. We put the snow plow in the front yard and even used powdered sugar for snow.

After that Daniel and Anna skillfully put a huge sugar cookie christmas tree in the front yard. Surrounded by chocolate presents. Unfortunately i didn't get a pic of the tree, but i know it took a lot of frosting to hold the thing up.

Anyway, here are the pictures of the amazing house. It definitely beats the graham cracker ones i used to make in elementary school!

Here's Daniel with the beginnings of the snow plow.

Anna= frosting expert! And Ethan in the background making cookies!

Here's everyone at the table (minus me, taking the picture, but i promise i helped!)


Here are the 3 of us... the master minds behind it all!


In the process... that duck looking thing on the front is supposed to be a snowman.


And here is the finished product! cute, huh? i did mostly the lights/candy decorations. If you look close you can see the Santa in the chimney too.


And here is the front. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture after they put the tree up in the yard. I know you're all impressed :)
