Gingerbread houses

One fun Christmas tradition is making gingerbread houses. Of course, we're lazy, and make them out of graham crackers instead, but it's still fun. Here are the kids' creations for this year.

Yumiko made a girl in a forest of Christmas trees. Not a house, but if nothing else an honorable mention for the rose the girl is holding.



Rachel was going for a snow theme.



Andrew was going for the log cabin look. And a pretty detailed tree, topped with a star.



Lisa selected a rainbow motif on the roof. That's a person in front of the house, next to the small gumdrop tree.



Daniel really got into it. He did a "gingerbread" hospital. That's a Christmas tree on top, and "life flight" helicopter on the landing pad on the right.



Here's what it looks like from the back. That's a person on a trampoline on the left, in the therapy yard. The enclosure on the right is for growing flowers.



Here's a closeup of two people on the balcony.



And a closeup shot of the helicopter on its landing pad.



It's good to know that if there are any injuries in Gingerbreadland this Christmas season, they can be taken care of. :)
