Missing the Creativity Gene

Today I took part in decorating my first gingerbread house.  Rick has been doing it for years with his sister, Maddy.  It was lots of fun.  But I was quickly reminded of my lack of creativity for such things.  As Rick was constructing a lamp post out of a candy cane and a spice drop, I was racking my brain for anything more exciting than an M&M pattern!  Alas, I didn't come up with much.  Here are the results!
This is Rick's front door.  Check out that lamp post!

This is the side I made.  I had lots of fun with patterns on the roof, but my lack of creativity down below shows!  I tried to make a fireplace with stockings in one of the windows.  It didn't exactly translate...

The light in this pic isn't great.  Rick made Rooney and Bueller in the window!

I chose to do an "F" on the back because well, it was easy!  My creativity peaked with Rudolph!
