Last week we made our second annual trip to the Eastman Museum for the arrival of Santa Claus and to look at the gingerbread house display. The gingerbread houses are made by various groups, and there is a silent auction to raise funds for restoration projects at the museum. The George Eastman House was all decked out as usual. Skylar was old enough this year to really enjoy a rather lengthy scavenger hunt where you hunt for items in many of the gingerbread house displays. It took several of us to help her finish it! Not as easy as one might think.
These are four of my favorites, although there were many, many more that were worthy of a photograph. Off to link up with Helena and other SNAP enthusiasts. But before I go, a photo of Grandpa and Skylar watching Santa come down the main staircase in the Eastman House.
Absolutely enchanting! I don’t think I have ever seen a gingerbread house in the … dough. Do these get eaten/returned to the bakers/sent to the needy, or are they not fit for consumption after being out on display?
Love the cardinal and bird house especially! I was wondering if you would post photos from the Eastman house this year!!
amazing what clever people can do with gingerbread – sounds a great idea for a festive exhibition and the scavenger hunt sounds fun
How lovely! I bet she’ll always remember that.
What a treasure the Eastman House is…for little girls with visions of sugarplums…and big girls with cool photo-taking skills! I always enjoy your Snap photos and these are great fun…the houses look good enough to eat!
Cheers~
Sounds like FUN! Fantastic houses!
Beautiful SNAP Karen!
Making a Gingerbread house from scratch is on my baker’s bucket list but not for this year!
Christmas is so wonderful seen in the eyes of the little ones!

I love those gingerbread houses but the last one is definitely the best.
How did I miss this post? Silly me.
A yummy SNAP collection. While I am mostly about castles & princesses, I think the birdhouse with red cardinal is my favourite.
This year we have not attempted to make/build gingerbread – instead I found myself an adult gingerbread colouring page which I am engaging myself in 🙂
