Gingerbread Houses, Robot Dogs, and Christmas Eve

We visit with some kids who are learning from professional architects how to make the sturdiest, most impressive holiday cookie structures around. We also read about why some police officers are excited about using robot dogs to help with their jobs. And we hear a story about how some families open all their presents on the day before Christmas.
