Shack

Nothing says "Christmas" like Teddy Grahams in bikinis (and grass skirts)! 

Emma and her friends got in the gingerbread fun, too!  

They envisioned a beach-side resort and brought it to life one 

day (oh, wait, that's Frosty).  

The girls took First Place in the "teen" category of the town's Gingerbread Contest.  

In the joyful chaos, we lost track of who snapped the photos, 

this post includes those taken by Emma, Paul, and I. 

"Sam's Shack"

Look carefully, can you see the volleyball match, the palm tree with coconuts, 

and the mermaids?
