Our Second Gingerbread House: "Shrek the Halls"

Our second gingerbread house was delivered to the Prime Minister's residence today. The theme for this gingerbread house is "Shrek the Halls" (based on the short film of the same title).

Six of us living in Wilbrod House worked on the gingerbread house for about a week (evenings and weekends), and this is what we made:

All in all, it was another fun experience.
