The Christmas season kicked off a little early, as I discovered that the entry for the local gingerbread house contest (which I wanted to enter this year) was due right before Thanksgiving! No pressure! The girls and I made a house to enter, while the boys decided they didn't want to enter the contest. That's fine. I made small ones for everyone to do (including the Nanas and our neighbor friends) in December.
The great thing (for me!) about this contest was that there were only two adult entries....and three prizes, so I was guaranteed to win something! I came in second....and rightly so. The first place winner's house was AMAZING.My mom and the boys think they want to participate next year. I hope they do - it was quite fun to see our houses in shop windows this Christmas season.
