Holiday Gingerbread House Competition, Ahem...Party!

Last year Prince Charming and I decided to try and start a new tradition. I say, "try," because people would have to actually show up in order for this to become tradition. Needless to say, we had a few RSVP and attend our first Gingerbread House Party. A good time was had by all, the trophy was handed to the darling Bridget, and everyone left with bigger and better plans for the next year.

This year we had an even bigger response and our friends showed up with their supplies in hand ready to improve upon their previous attempt. They were even more eager to knock Bridget from her throne and take home the lovely trophy (I wish I had a pic).

Here are our wonderful guests and their fantastic houses!

Sis and her lovely licorice cabin!

Bridget and her Castle, which won the trophy again!

TJ and Ashley with their creative home!

D'Nita and Jessi with their single wide trailer with all the accessories. Hilarious!

Karen and Jason with their winter wonderland house! They gave Bridget a run for her money.

Me with my thatch roof. I got tired after completing the roof, so I lost my creativity.

Kathy and Mike and their colorful house!

Kaitlin and Dave with their attempt. Next year will be better, I'm sure!

Sharon and Ryan with their snow covered house!

The party was a blast and we enjoyed entertaining all of you! I was inspired to make a unique house next year. Yes, I will be making my own gingerhread. Look out, Bridget! Also, I do have to give props to Jessi, who, having never been to the party before, slaved over a stove to make his own gingerbread (yes, you can buy prefab!). Your creation was well worth the effort!
