Proper Lifting Techniques

The staff at OXB teamed up to create some amazing Gingerbread houses. The public will vote on their favorite. OXB has very creative staff … but Arvind and I already knew that!

Alice’s Adventures in Gingerland was created by Caitlin, Cori, and Cathie. The general consensus is it’s very creative and we loved the tie to literature but it’s just a little creepy.

Snoopy’s Christmas was created by Sarah, David, and Connie. Ahh who doesn’t like Snoopy’s Christmas?

The Nutcracker Sweet was created by Kevin, Sue, Caroline and Anne. Kevin was in charge of the glue gun and was a man with a vision. Very, very impressive on the details.

‘‘Tis the Season to be Reading was created by Rebecca, Connie Van Frank, and Lisa. It’s a gingerbread OXB complete with patrons at the drive thru window getting their books What’s not to love?

Snowy Country Manor was designed by Alice, Debbie, Patrick and Akiko. We all want a house like this one in the woods. Every detail from the thatched roof of bran to the surgery pond is adorable.

Congratulations to Arvind on 20 years and congratulations to Patrick on 25 years at OXB!
