Gingerbread Display

We headed to the JW Marriott today to check out their huge gingerbread display, "Holidays around the World." Maddie wanted to go past the "ropes" and touch everything. It was fascinating to look at.


the working toy train that circled most of the display


Some interesting facts...
400+ hours to create
350+ pounds of gingerbread
120+ pounds of chocolate
120+ pounds of candies & gum drops
75+ pounds of nuts & dried fruit
took over 30 days to construct
weighs over 800 pounds!

Of course, there was green grass so we had to play for a couple of minutes!
