A Christmas Village for Ants?

We have a tradition every year of decorating gingerbread houses with my mom and sisters. The kids have always made theirs out of graham crackers but they don't hold together very well. I was so excited when I found that someone had put together a mini christmas village gingerbread kit complete with frosting, candy and the pre-made houses. So I bought it for all the kids. I figured they would be about half the size of a regular house kit.
HO BOY! When they said mini, they meant MICRO mini. I have never seen anything so tiny! They were no more than an inch and a half high. We all got a good chuckle out of it. The kids had fun none-the-less. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera:( Not that you could see pictures of something so tiny anyway.

You haven't seen a gingerbread house until you've seen ours.. Check it! btw...mini is small talk for smurfs.

we had a hard time putting "frosing windows" onn normal sized gingerbread houses, I can only imagine my kids trying to frost micro windows!!!

Shall I bring over my little critters? Elise collects them. I think they'd love the new apartments.
