Gingerbread

Every year around Christmas time, my family becomes a group of architects, designers, and structural engineers, as we engage in the yearly tradition of creating "gingerbread" houses. I've never actually built anything out of gingerbread. We, like ninety percent of Americans, use graham crackers.

Steve and Ashlyn build their homes in the "Puritan American" style.



Shannon does as well, but Tyler opts for the "Eco-love Hexagonal" model. His gingerbread house is entirely carbon neutral.



Mom watched little Alexa (who couldn't be happier) while we made houses.



"Ooooh..."



Shannon asked Tyler to make a jealous/disgusted face while I was decorating my house. She kept asking him to "exaggerate more." :)



This is my finished house in which two red bears live. They like ice skating on their private pond when it freezes over.
