Saturday night was our annual small group Christmas party. Festivities include gingerbread house making, with prizes awarded to Best Original and Most Creative. Last year (if you remember) Josh and I took the prize for most original. This year we went in with high expectations. Of course we could pull-off a repeat, right? The plan was simple: a Graham Cracker Factory. How clever it would be! Smoke stack sitting on a General Mills style building; loading dock with a cookie semi-truck.
What we were not expecting was an upset by the highly skilled and prepared team of Steve & Jesica Allen. Their gingerbread scene depicted a rock concert, complete with "stage lighting", "speakers" and marshmallow "rockers". They topped it all off with a crowd of gummy bears watching the show.
The victory is yours my friends, but the Gingerbread war is not over.
**Edit: We will miss The Henry's and their gingerbread contributions, which have included a whirpool hot-tub made of chicklets**

Ooh, the gauntlet has been flung to the ground! But you guys are up to the challenge; I know it! Your graham factory is a good idea, but those Allens are a worthy adversary. A concert, wow. That's almost as far out in left field as Gummi Machu Picchu!
Miss you guys. :(
Game on sister!!!
