Brasher Blog: The Bassett Family Entry...Prepare to be amazed....

This was so much fun. Everything went well until.... Well, we'll get to that in the end.
Here's a view of our gingerbread village just at sunset.

This little house was Jeffrey's brain child (mom did a little artistic directing.) But it was his idea to put the gingerbread man on the roof hanging Christmas lights. He wanted the sprinkles to go all the way around the edges of the roof as lights, but since we were at the end of the evening, we trimmed his hat instead.

Brandon helped nibble down all the necco wafers so they fit correctly. What a helper.

This is Amanda's creation...she was all by her lonesome on this one. Taylor started out helping, but had to leave, so she managed to get it all done by herself. We forgot to take a picture of the log pile and chimney in the back, & and I also didn't get a very good detail of her cobble stone walkway made of out the cracked pieces of the necco wafers.....sorry Amanda-they were great ideas!

Brandon is responsible for the star atop the house. He went to the trouble of eating the sucker so he could use the stick to put up the star...again, always serving.

This house was a collaborative affair. Jessica had icing duty. She made all the royal icing for all the houses. It took a LONG time to get the green thick enough to take some shape. Brandon and Jeffrey helped mom decorate the house-especially working on the roof and the gables and again with the Christmas lights trimming the house.

There's a little Santa that goes on the door-but since he's not edible, he's not in the picture. There's also a lawn Nativity, but we had the same problem there. I (Angie) made the trees and the pebbled path, and Amanda filled in all the snow around the ground. Jeffrey sacrificed his fruit by the foot for the door. Sweet boy.
