The Results Are In!

We went to the Franklin Park Conservatory to see all the Gingerbread Houses and to determine whether or not we had won anything. Our gingerbread rocket, while fabulous, was not a winner this year. Connor took it pretty well. I told him that we couldn't win every year, and he agreed that the winning house in the "family" category was pretty great.

This is the house that beat ours.
It is pretty great.

Here is the first place house in the "adult" category. I really like it, too.


I think that this Nightmare Before Christmas house is pretty fantastic, even though it didn't win anything.


This one was another favorite with us. Look! A John Deere! And a Quilt Barn!


The First place house in the "kids" category.

Connor thinks he is going to be old enough to do a house all by himself for a "kids" entry next year. So does Lex, actually.
