Gingerbread House Contest

I'm not sure how many years Liz and K.C. have been having a contest to see who can build the best Gingerbread House, but this year they have outdone themselves.

K.C.'s entry this year was "Hog Heaven Ranch". She used rawhide for the fences in the garden and pig pen, with cinnamon sticks for the log cabin. The fish pond had Swedish Fish for the fish. The picture will enlarge to an extra large size to see the details.

Liz and Jack built the Whitehouse. An amazing replica with both the North and South Porticos. The fountain was made with marshmellos and Hershey's Kisses. The candycane column's were an inspired touch. This picture will also enlarge to an extra large size.

The ballot prepared by Aunt Liz is shown below, some might say it was a little biased... but pretty funny.

It was a close vote with talk of hanging chads and red states, but in the end K.C. won 7-6. Liz and Jack are shown below with the second place prize.
