Visions of Sugar Plums

I know it is only Nov. 5, but the local grocery store is holding a gingerbread house contest and the grand prize is a $500 gift certificate to the store. And you gotta know that with Trevor coming home soon and the other boys, I'm gonna need those groceries. So, with that in mind, I got a plan of what I wanted in a house and Jess helped me make a pattern and yesterday I mixed and rolled and cut and baked. Here is the result of that.


















Today I am beginning the construction process, putting it all together and building the actual house. Then comes the fun part, putting all the goodies on.













And when the house is all done and turned in and judged it will be auctioned off with the proceeds going to Primary Children's Hospital.
