Gingerbread Houses!

Fun for the whole family!! The Vinsons has a Gingerbread house decoration contest this past Christmas in New Boston.We were split into 3 teams: Rich and Shelby, Summer and JP, and Mimi and Pop.

We were all given the same house framework and selection of candy to work with, and boy did we deliver!

Let me know who you think deserves the blue ribbon.....

Team 1: Shelby and Rich. I was holding on the roof while the icing dried during house assembly.

Team 2: JP and Summer. Obviously JP was going to take the lead on this one.

Team 3: Pop and Mimi (with some help from Cousin Sheri).

Team 3 decided the icing was sticking out too much from their cracks.
So they gave it "stucco" to fix it :)

Team 2 finish product! They won for the best curb appeal.

Team 1 finish product! We won for best roofing skills.

Our house had some foundation issues and we lost a wall.
We decided to add a little table and chairs for a diorama look.

Team 3 finish product! (Yes, Mimi swapped out partners half way through)
