Q: What has four walls, a roof and lots of yummy stuff to eat?

A: It should be obvious, but's here's a hint: Lots of these structures were built recently at the Ada Public Library. They are called gingerbread houses.

They come in a wide range of styles and accomodations. The library allowed us to link up to the Facebook photo gallery.
