All’s fair in love and gingerbread decorating competitions…
For the last few years, The Ott Family has been partaking in some good ole family competition during the holidays! It started as a competition between me and Caroline, and now has expanded to the rest of the family!
We all get to start with a pre made Gingerbread House (because we all know how difficult it is to actually construct one from scratch… and we just want to get to the fun part – decorating).
* The Blank Canvas *
* The Materials – Patty supplies us with lots of candy but you are allowed to bring your own secret supply! *
* The Teams *
Team 1 – Patty, Emily and Diane
Team 2 – Steve and Samantha
Team 3 – Allison and Caroline
Team 4 – Bill and Tom (always very secretive and opt for non traditional materials)
* Drum roll…. THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE MASTERPIECES *
Team 1 – Milly and Grace Gingerbread House
Team 2 – Winter Wonderland with Santa’s sleigh parked out front!
Team 3 – Gingerbread Nativity Scene
Team 4 – “Gingerbread” Whaling Ship
* The Trophy *
NOTE: This trophy was made by yours truly.
It was inspired by the Gellar Cup (FRIENDS Fans will know what I am talking about!).
So you are all probably wondering who won…Well, we all did!
I know, I know… It should have just been Team 3 with the Nutter Butter manger.
Which team would you have awarded the Ginger Cup to?
Definitely Team Three! ;)
