Gingerbread House Party 2011

The 4th annual Gingerbread House party was last night, this year we stepped up our game with an ugly sweater contest AND trophies for the winners!

I took a picture of each family as they walked in the door, I’m pretty sure that A LOT more effort was put into the ugly sweaters than the Gingerbread Houses!

The Perkins

The Water’s

Us!

George and Chelsea Withers

The Stallings

Wes, Beth and Chloe

These two pictures make me laugh! Before, and after!

Me and my sick little man, he felt terrible but was still a trooper!

After a lot of eating and some decorating, the voting began…

……………..drum roll, please……………………….

Taking home the “They must be Jewish” award…… The Stallings family and their house with a “sky light”.

Taking home the Best House of 2011 and a trophy……………………………… The Perkins Family!

And finally, taking home the trophy for Best Dressed…………………… Wes and Bethany in their home made shirts, complete with battery packs and lights!

 

then after all that work, a little bed time story before bed!

It was another FUN party- I love this time of year, especially when I get to fill my house up with all the people I love the most! I’m not sure how I ended up with such wonderful fun friends, but I’m dang glad I did!

Merry Christmas!
