Gingerbread Cuckoo Clock

Every year we make a gingerbread house.  It's been a tradition for many years and they've taken many shapes and forms.  Last year we
tried to "recreate" Sister Kate's darling Schaffhausen Chapel.
This year I wanted to something more simple since I didn't have much time and my ace decorator, Lindsey, has been so run down fighting her Lymes Disease that I knew she wouldn't be able to do much.

So, I decided on a Cuckoo Clock! Very German for this girl who served in the Alpine German-speaking mission. The flags on the side are the two countries Katie actually served in; Switzerland and Austria...and yes,
it has a working clock movement!
