The 3rd Gingerbread Party brought quite the competition. Everyone in attendance had the intention of taking that trophy away from Bridget. As people started arriving they got right to work and started mingling with the other competitors.
Of course, before any of our guests arrived, Prince Charming sliced his finger. What luck! One of our guests was coming from work at the ER. She brought supplies and fixed (more like tortured) him right up!
He says that he was acting, but I can assure you that whatever our nurse was doing to him was painful.
Meanwhile, back at the party - everyone was hard at work.
The first cave in of the evening happened to Dan. His attempt at a log cabin with homemade gingerbread failed.
He did, however, have the inclination to create a cave-in/collapse award. Below you will see Mr. Hanky, the Christmas Poo.
The finished houses were all lovely. Here are Liz and Kieron with their teeny house.
The Ballards with their festive house.
The Kings and their Haunted Gingerbread House.
The Riley's with their creation. I loved the rolo chimney in the back!
The Ryan's with their themed house. They recreated the scene at Tiger Woods' house.
The Nicoluzakis' with their collapsed church. Luckily they received a Mr. Hanky of their own from Dan.
The McLaughlin's. I guess Ryan couldn't wait to eat it.
The Atkinsons with their house.
And yours truly with my peppermint house.
Here is some of the competition on display.
The Tiger Wood's house gave another competitor a run for her money.
But in the end, we crowned a new champion. Aunt J (my sis with friend Katie) modeled her house after our parent's home. The size of the house and the effort that went in to constructing it deserved a trophy.
It was such a fun party and I look forward to doing it again next year. I think I might start planning now.
