This year instead of having a large exchange of gifts, each family prepared an activity in which everyone could participate. Our activity was a Gingerbread House Contest. Two team captains drew names for team members. The rules were as follows:
1. 20 minutes for planning
2. 30 minutes for completing the house
3. house can be any structure team decides (not limited to houses only)
4. any edible thing in house can be used, but if edibility is questioned, a team member must eat the thing in question
5. have fun!
The teams did so well. Everyone did a great job working together! We had hoped there would be someone available to judge, but when that didn't work out, we thought it would be even more fun to get everyone involved and put it on the blog! That's where you come in! After the vote, we'll post pics of the teams working on the houses. Thanks for voting!

I found your blog using google because I'm looking to make a gingerbread house (surf shack). What did you use to make the palm trees? They look great. Please email me what you used, thanks!

Hi Kelly,
The palm trees were twizzler pull-and-peel trunks with strawberry leaf tops. The tops were attached with a piece of uncooked spaghetti. Hope you have fun building your house!
