Gingerbread Competition

I had my first Christmas show on Friday night at my friend's house and we had a gingerbread decorating competition! What fun! We made such a mess but we had a blast!
Here I am with my product display
Closer up
Close up of my display gingerbread house
Tyron and Lachlan got roped into doing the whisk game...you have to beat 3 egg whites to stiff peaks and then hold it upside-down over your head...first one done wins...what fun!
This is how the kiddos entertained themselves that night...Eva the porcupine
don't know if it was Rhys or Eldon who was clipping them to her back...
The boys hard at work
Lachlan adding the santa to the chimney
And the finished products...#1
#2
#3..the boys' effort...notice the santa head first in the chimney...
...and the savage in the yard with his fire stick and bonfire behind him...
All three houses lined up together....no one could decide a winner, so we ended up sharing the prize, which was a plate of cookies! (like we needed any more sugar!)
The fate of these awesome houses....#1 is going to be raffled off at the respite center where one of our friends works...#2 is being saved for family coming for the holidays and #3...well...it's already more than half gone! Yum!
