Stories, Songs, and Rhyms of Christmas Time.

We participated in the Gingerbread house display this year. I think I mentioned in an older post I had never made one before, so it was going to be an interesting experience. Well it didn't turn out too bad. We decided to build an ice castle. It had nothing to do with the theme, but there were several that didn't follow either (the theme was stories songs and rhymes of Christmas time in case you didn't catch that).

Here is ours. It's the best picture I have the rest are on the old hard drive


This is part of the Polar Express. As you can see there are houses behind it and three more train cars. It was really really good.

And this one is the entire Little Town of Bethlehem. This lady did tons of people and a whole field of sheep.

Needless to say some people are really good at the whole gingerbread house thing. I was very pleased with ours. So much so that I think I will build one every year. I'm sad that we wont be around to participate in this display next year. But hopefully we'll be able to come back some day and see it again.

Another thing I really liked was that community members came. It was put on by our stake and they had probably 100 houses built. Then they open it up to anyone who wants to come see. Several people mentioned how great of a missionary opportunity it was for them. Very non threatening it's just fun to see.

Anyway I can't wait till next year. I've already been thinking about what I can make!
