gingerbread
the making of the houses.
Our friend Rachel making a scale model of the waco compound out of burned scraps and broken pieces. the final had a thatched pretzel roof and gummy bears posted at every window with pretzel guns.
Doug and Sophie working on a Dr. Seuss inspired outhouse. brillant.
Owen adding a few special touches. this photo makes it look like he spent the night decorating when...
in fact his was was doing this pretty much all night long. Owen and Court (rachel's husband) made it to the 5 level on lego star wars. sweet.
I'll get final product shots from doug and post them. they really did turn out lovely. especially the compoud.

Brag about it all you want, I don't have the talent to do it--its a Mendi/Bonnie thing. Though I must say that Mendi added a fairly impressive ski lodge this year...
