Gingerbread House Competition

Granny and PawPaw always have so much fun competing against each other in their fishing and hunting. So, I thought they would enjoy a little friendly competition with the girls decorating gingerbread houses.   After we opened presents, I pulled out the kits and was surprised by how intent they were on winning. They formed teams, "The Grannies"...

and "The Deer Hunters" ...

and went to work. Check out the concentration on their faces.

PawPaw started to whisper because he was worried about their ideas being stolen and copied by the other team.

Doug was asked to be the judge and it's a good thing he was savvy enough to declare the competition a tie! The houses turned out so cute and I was very impressed with both teams.

Unfortunately, the houses didn't last long after the competition ended as our smallest family member made it his personal mission to eat them gumdrop by gumdrop.
