On Saturday night we had the 2nd Annual Gingerbread House Battle at the Kroeker's. Last year it was on my birthday and their son had just gotten married that day. Kathy was having the family that was around over after the reception and they were going to build gingerbread houses so they included me in that group. Then this year we decided to have another party like that. So begins a tradition.
Abby and I were partners.
Not sure why Hunter is cross eyed in this picture but then he is a 7 year old boy...so...
Beau just got up on a chair and started eating all the candy and pretzels and crackers he could grab. So, apparently, did Tyler!
Kathy and Doug
Season
Dave - Gingerbread Fail Award
(Last year he made a Trailer House, which was hilarious)
Abby - Most creative with the leftovers Award
Season - Most improved from last year and just plain adorable little village in a tornado Award.
(Last year her house fell down as soon as she started and looked like it got hit by a tornado so...)
Me - Never deviate from the log cabin Award.
(Obviously, last year I made a log cabin also. This year I added a fire pit, stream, thanks to Abby's ideas, and chair.)
Kathy - Very Traditional cute little house Award
(Last year her little house was smaller.)
AND the winner is...
Doug - Most amazing Memorial Stadium out of Graham Crackers Award!
(Last year he had to leave as soon as we got to their house because Clay forgot his suitcase for their honeymoon and Doug had to run it to them in Grand Island or somewhere along I-80. That is now a family joke!)
Tyler had to leave to work Security at church so he didn't get to finish his factory he was building.
My thanks to Doug and Kathy for being willing to let us make a huge mess in their dining room.
