A pile of candy, bowls of frosting and a fantastic plan in
our minds. That is how the 4th
annual Sork gingerbread house competition began. OK, so it wasn’t so much a competition as it
was an organized family activity. This
year we actually used real gingerbread rather than our traditional graham
crackers. We found it to be a bit less
forgiving and a bit harder to work with, but that just added to the challenge.
The theme this year was gingerbread village. Mom and Dad were in charge of the town square
complete with giant Christmas tree, bubbling brook and walking bridge.
McKenna built a quaint little gingerbread
cottage which was bordered by Austin’s Town Hall and Carson’s Candy Shop.
The most unusual contribution was Tanner’s
church and graveyard complete with tomb stones and stained glass window. It took about twice as long as everyone else’s
and he was ready to be done at the end.
The aftermath was a mess.
Frosting everywhere and on everything.
But the experience was fantastic and helped make our Christmas holiday
traditional.
