Celie spent most of her time eating the icing glue. We did everything we could to discourage it. Eventually, we had to put her down from the table, which went over like a lead balloon. Oh well.
Isaak's house is a cabin in the woods, complete with its own out-house. If you have ever used an out house at any temperature below 32 degrees, you will agree that indoor plumbing is the best invention EVER!!!
Ellis took the simple square house structure and just piled. When all was said and done, it looked like the Sugar Plum Fairy threw up on his house. He basically took his icing glue, squeezed about 1/4 th of a cup, grabbed candy, dropped it on the glue like an excavator, and then added more glue on top. It was a great experiment in layering and height. But, he loved his house and said, "it rocked!"
When Avery was gluing his house together, he really had no plan. He just found a piece and glued it somewhere. Interestingly enough, it ended up looking much like a Frank Lloyd Wright house. He kept his decor simple and was the first to finish. Despite the crazed look on his face, his structure is quite normal.
Finally, I give you Bell Christmas Village, with additional town structures of the Advent house and the fruit factory.
And, in case you are wondering....
Yes, we did cut our Christmas tree from our yard.
Yes, it was 3 degrees below zero.
Yes, limbs on a tree snap instantly when it hits the ground at that temperature.
Luckily, our tree goes in the corner, so the side with no limbs fits perfectly. HA! It is our MOST Charlie Brown tree ever. Happy Holidays!
These look great!
