We visited Conner Prairie in Fishers today. The boys each did their own program. Alex learned how they celebrated Christmas in 1836 and Nicolas learned how they make gingerbread and went on the hunt for the runaway Gingerbread Boy. Afterwards, we visited the Gingerbread Village. I have posted some of my favorite houses. We don't have time this year, but next year we are going to try our hand at making a gingerbread house (although not NEAR as elaborate as the ones in these pictures!)
This is all different angles of one house. The chimney is pez candies, inside the staircase is made of sugar wafers, and the columns are lifesavers. Very impressive!
The castle "bricks" are slices of gum.
We visited Conner Prairie several years ago when we were on vacation in the Indianapolis area and just loved it! I wish that we lived near Indianapolis so that we could go more frequently. It is one of the best "historical villages" that we've seen.
