Christmas 2018 - Gingerbread Houses

About five years ago, a tradition was begun for the day after Christmas. The ladies in the family who wanted to participate made gingerbread houses. (Why the day AFTER Christmas? The kits are on sale!)

Aren't they pretty?

The judges - impartial of course.

My "Anne of GREEN Gables" placed last. Not really a surprise, but I had fun making it!

"Christmas in Sarajevo" by Jessica came in sixth. When she'd opened her kit, the pieces were broken, so she went with what she had in a very creative way! JC placed this one first.

Sadly, the other judges did not see it the same way as JC.

This year's winner was Vanessa's house, with Lisa coming in second. (Lisa won last year.)

The ladies who made houses: Jessica, Vanessa, Sarah, me, Emily, Lisa, and Trinity. We are standing behind our own homes in the lineup.
