Yesterday Andrew and I went skiing not far from home. Andrew is keen to ski; I am willing to ski but find the whole stopping or turning thing a little tricky. It was beautiful in amongst the trees after two big snow storms. I wanted photos but the temperature was minus 10 °C so my fingers complained every time I pulled them out of my mitts.

Not Your Average Gingerbread
We usually make a gingerbread house for Christmas and over the years there have been some very elaborate designs made by the children and their friends. This year B12 and I made a replica of a Hornet tank.
I also made a little more unconventional gingerbread including the animals above and the “Gingerdead Man” cutter courtesy of Andrew’s mum who is a very creative gift giver and knows our gingerbread making habits. He is fairly tricky to ice but I am going to persevere and try to make a whole gingerdead family!
Houses made in previous years:
2011 House
2008 House
2008 Church
2008 Village
2007 Lighthouse and Little House on the Prairie
An Unexpected Christmas
Remember the Christmas Story as told by the kids in New Zealand. I watched it again on the first Sunday of Advent. They have created a new video telling the story from a different perspective.
