Let the dog in!

We had a family outing to the Seattle Sheraton to see the gingerbread village display. It was our first time. Here are some shots I thought my mom you readers might enjoy. You know, in case you don’t live nearby or don’t want to stand in a very, slow-moving line (”hey, it’s not Christmas unless you have to stand in a long line, right, honey?” DH made no comment, not counting the sighing and eye-rolling.).

Lovely Russian village. Some people can’t seem to keep their fingers…hey! That’s my Kid!

Another charming village scene.

I liked the hot air balloon, although I’d have a short ride given that I’d eat the floor out in about a minute.

Nice dragon, if you like chocolate dragons…

Cool diorama with tiny gingerbread skiers. Ah, to break those legs….and eat them.

Given the G-rated nature of the village, I was surprised to see the dead body by the house on this one.

My favorite, the animals.

Mighty owl looking for small toddlers as snack.

My favorite guy. Isn’t he cute? I could just eat him up.

I could just eat him up.

The display, a fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, is up until January 2, 2008. See it in person. It’s yummy.

[Hey, anyone notice the IRONY? Gingerbread, candy, juvenile diabetes?]
