National Gingerbread House Competition, Part 1

Today Lindee, Mallory, Clara, Emma, & I made our annual trek to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, to check out the gingerbread house competition.  As always, the entries were amazing, and we just had such a wonderful time.  This was one of my favorite entries – Hansel and Gretel.  This side of the house was all beautiful and fun and cheery, and the other side was all black, and the sweet old lady had turned into a witch.  There were the cages for the children and everything.  So creative.  It was one of the top ten, and I can certainly see why.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day, so we had a nice time walking around on the patios and stairs outside – it’s usually way too cold for us to do much of that.  Lindee took this picture of me with the girls while we were out looking at the fountains.
