A Carefree Christmas

Some friends asked us to help decorate a gingerbread house to donate for a fundraiser. We chose the title of our project "A Carefree Christmas".
It's a little unconventional for a gingerbread house, but it was fun to make it!
Look closely and you'll see little surfer guys next to our gingerbread beach house.
We even made a beach with real sand, little shade umbrellas and the ocean.
Our beach house was decorated with shells we brought back from Mexico and sand from the sandbox in the back yard.
It was a really fun project (albeit a little crazy with so much help) and I hope they get a TON of money for our Carefree Christmas gingerbread house.
