Gingerbread House Contest

Let's start this post of with the best picture of 2011 to really get you in the Christmas spirit, seeing as how the season ended two weeks ago.

Poor Chase. In all honesty that's what I felt like doing quite a few times during the month of December.

So why is it after you have kids sitting on the couch watching The Christmas Story 5 times in a row isn't good enough anymore? Well whatever the reason I was all about making new memories and traditions this year and this is something Merrisa and I came up with and we had a blast. It was so funny seeing everybody's personality in little graham cracker creations.

First up! Is anyone surprised Brian built an airport complete with hanger,runway, and airplane? Chase is signing eat, and I couldn't agree more.

Oh yeah well my house had Rudolph, shutters, and a door knob, not to mention it was an octogon.

But I have to admit Merrisa's three story house was pretty awesome!

Apparently it was too much for Austin who feel alseep before the judging. His had a weird roof and an attached garage.


AND THE WINNER IS.......

A tie. Nanny could only narrow it down to the girls so we took that as a major victory and not one I will let Brian live down anytime soon.
