Your Vote Counts!

This Christmas our family launched the Annual Gingerbread House Making Contest. There were four teams of 2 and each team had to create a gingerbread house with (approximately 90%) edible components. The teams included (in no particular order) Stone, mommy, daddy, Gran, Grandaddy, Uncle Troy, Uncle Bob, & Aunt Charlotte. The only required piece was a mailbox. We did it on Christmas Day, but we had no unbiased judge... hence this post. Please vote for your favorite. You may only vote once and no anonymous vote will count! I will post the winner a week from today on Friday, January 4th.

Entry #1 - The Bungalow

Entry #2 - Country Living
