Gingerbread Contest 2010

On Christmas Eve we had our Annual Gingerbread Contest. This year, everyone worked VERY hard on the houses because there was a prize!!
Katie's mom and dad's Gingerbread House:

They took the sentimental path...their house represented their family. :)

This side represents Katie's sister, MarLi in Hawaii with the ocean, palm tree and her van, Flow.





This side represents, Katie's brother, Rand's family with the camo, a baby, a dog and a cat.


This side represents Howard and Katie...since we're selling our house and moving to the East Valley. (Nuttybars = moving boxes)

And this side is my parents...with their yellow kitchen and blue door.




Katie's cousins, James and Dakin's log cabin.


And without talking, Katie's Aunt Colleen and Uncle George did a log cabin too! (such a cute idea!)


And the winner is (2 years in a row, might I add!) is our Gingerbread House! Our Gingerbread House was sponsored by Mr. Hersey...even though he didn't give us any endorsements. ;)





Its such a great tradition making our Gingerbread houses...thanks Grandma and Grandpa! :)

You left off the end of the story. What a cliffhanger! WHAT WAS THE PRIZE? This is like watching Grey's Anatomy.
