9th Annual Gingerbread House Contest

Am I really only just bloggin about my party? Yes! December has been a whirlwind of chaos!

The Gingerbread party came and went and it was a blast! I love it. I think I'm really going to have a hard time quitting it in a year...we'll see.

It was a small turnout (which was perfect for me because I had the busiest week EVER that week).

Bret and I FINALLY placed after about three years of nothingness! We came in first!

Now, on we go!

Mike and Rene' came in thirdplace with what they named "Abandoned Redneck Treehouse".



In second place we had Tim and Nancy's "The Little White Wedding Chapel of Love, North Pole, USA"




And Ryan and Tracy took first with "Santa's cottage"




And now all of the honorable mentions:


Julie and Preston's "House of Rock (Candy)"




Gennifer and Creston's "North Pole"






And Zack and Genice's "Left Overs"




The OFFICIAL first place (I don't think I can say that enough...it's been a long time) is Mine and Bret's "Barnyard"






I spent the good part of an hour on this lamb.




Yes, the animals look dead, BUT, I am getting pretty good at this fondant stuff. It's too bad you can't see the horse's mouth. I gave him some big ol' buck teeth. But, alas, his head wouldn't stay on the house, so we had to hold it up with a pile of "hay".


LATER!
