Today was our annual Gingerbread house decorating contest. This was Zion's first year decorating and she LOVED every second of it.
This is something the kids look forward to all year long. I assemble the houses earlier in the day (because I learned early on that it is a disaster if they build their own) and we all decorate.
After the first person finishes we set a timer for everyone else. Then the kids have to go into their rooms while we clean up and judge.
Everyone gets a note for Best of ____ or most amazing use of _____. But there is 1 overall winner. We have a special ornament for the tree which lists the winner and year that they won.
This year we simply could not decide and had our first tie between Adaiah and Joseph. 😊
After pictures they have 1 minute to eat as much candy as they want off of their house. It never ceases to amaze me how much candy the boys can inhale. Adaiah did some damage this year too. 😂
The next day or two they will eat their houses some more and then I will pitch em when they aren't looking. 🤣
All of the kids enjoyed themselves. It is a treasured tradition. ❤️🏚️
