Santa's Village



Here is the gingerbread village we made this year.  


Lee decorated Santa's Workshop (the big building) all by herself (well maybe with a bit of Daddy's help).   The small building is Santa's house, and there's also the train and train station. 

Here are a few details that came out well.  The wreaths I piped on parchment, let them dry, and then stuck them on with icing:


 The log pile made out of Pirouettes:



The Christmas trees made out of sugar cones:



Bridges' engine which came out pretty well despite his fears:




We'll definitely do another one next year.   We had lots of fun, especially with the decorating.   Lee should be able to help with the design more next year, and Clara more with the decorating.  

Right after New Year's Day we dug in.  Even stale it's pretty tasty.
