Two disaster's and One Success

Friday, January 15, 2010

It's a tradition that before Christmas us Moffitt kids get together and have a Gingerbread House contest. Well I can tell you that there was a CLEAR WINNER this year, and no it was not us!

Here is Jess, Jon, and Mo getting the frosting ready.
Jon had the coolest idea where he was going to do a little village.
Here he is working away.
And this is as far as the project got. For some reason this year, our frosting wasn't very sturdy. Everything kept falling apart. Including our house! The frosting just wouldn't hold.

So Ryan and I decided to get into a frosting fight instead! Kate did NOT like that for one second. It scared her to death. She thought we were hurting each other. Pretty cute if you ask me!
Here is our end result! Anyone wanna live in this nice rundown home??
Jess and Greg learned from our mistake, and was patient with the frosting. Greg held their roof together for like 20 minutes for the frosting to harden!
And it paid off! Their's was by far the best!
Congrats Jess and Greg for winning this time!

What a fun tradition! We went to a friends house and all the kids made one. They had a great time. Love the Thanksgiving post. Better late than never if you ask me. I still need to get my month of December done as well, so your really not far behind me.
