Gingerbread Houses

We had so much fun last year with our gingerbread house competition that we decided to make it an annual tradition. Unfortunately our planning wasn't the best, and we struggled getting everyone together to work on them. We were using Great-Grandma's condo on Lido Key on Christmas night and did our best to work on the houses there, but with space being limited and Samantha & Derek in a rush to hang out with their friends, we decided to let the kids have a go at it this year.

The results weren't great, as Tara didn't have the proper ingredients to make the frosting necessary to hold the housing pieces together. She did her best, but with the kids being in a yank the houses didn't really hold together. Jayden was the only one to really focus and take her time, so she gets first prize by default this year.

As the kids age, we may have to plan a weekend before or after Christmas to participate in these types of events. Whatever we decide to do, I'm sure it'll be fun!
