Just about a thousand spoon-fulls of sugar...

There's no telling what's about to happen when the Muellers get together for the annual Gingerbread House Competition. Each year we get bigger and more outrageous. Hot glue was out-lawed by Mom this year, but somehow Mike still got his hands on it. Another new addition- we made it a team competition! By the end of the night we had eaten our share of colorful goodies and powdered sugar "glue". We just managed to overcome the sugar buzz to get the construction zone cleaned up. I would say another successful year! Here's just a TASTE of the events...

The Teams and results:



Dan and I went for the European look: A Swiss Chalet and Ski Resort.



Carrie and Pete's three little houses were almost demolished by some huffing and puffing of frosting from Brooke's end of the table...



Brooke and Emma went whimsical with a house for Fairies.



Mom's partner was MIA, but she still managed to pull of the cute & classical.



And Mike & Kaysi out did themselves and made an adorable replica of our house- complete with a picnic table and candy-cane forest!



You can bet that the ideas are already brewing for next year!
