My Talented Sister Tonia Webb

My sister was in the 2News kitchen this morning showing off her skills at making gingerbread houses. Each year she makes a gingerbread house for Midway's Swiss Christmas. These are not what you typically think of when you think of gingerbread houses. They are HUGE and immaculately decorated. She incorporates so many details that really make her houses one of a kind.
2News hasn't posted any pictures on their website, all I could find was this link http://www.kutv.com/content/morning/story.aspx?content_id=53bb3952-ce21-4c10-9853-537727bb9b23 referencing that someone was coming. The house she made this year is unbelievable.

Here are some pictures of 2006's gingerbread house to give you an idea of what she does.

You can't see it, but there's a little girl at the top of the stairs peeking down at Santa.

She puts pictures on the wall and decorates every nook and cranny.


The outside view. On the right is a picture of the actual house she replicated.

Way to go Tonia for sharing your talent and donating so much time to a worthy cause.

Here is a link to Midway's Swiss Christmas site. http://www.midwaychristmas.com/cottages.htm In the slide show, the house after the barn is another one that Tonia made. If you're up there is weekend it'd be worth it to go to Midway and check it out.
