I know it's late...really late...but here are the photos from the 2nd Annual Hocking Family Christmas Gingerbread House Build-Off!! Don't ask me who won...I don't know. In all honesty, it should have been H and C, but we ran out of time and didn't vote.
This year, we decided to come up with a boatload of "themes" and put them in a hat. Then, right before we started the competition, we drew one of the themes. That way nobody had the chance to scheme and plan and practice ahead of time. Well, by nobody I mean H and C...they kicked our butts last year!
We had lots of great ideas, but the one we actually drew was "Seven Wonders of the World." Everybody had thirty minutes to look stuff up on the internet and plan. Apparently, there are WAY more than seven wonders... Try looking it up on Google - you'll find all sorts of different categories of Wonders of the World.
Here we are all working. Dad's watching us...
J and I decided to incorporate three Wonders into our gingerbread sculpture. We had Stonehenge, the Great Wall of China and the Empire State Building. We even had little mini Teddy Grahams as Druid priests.
H and C did the Galapagos Islands. They even had turtles pulling Santa on a boat.
Mom and Dad did a Pyramid, complete with camels and Egyptians.

looks like you guys had the harder deal seeing as you had to depict SEVEN things??? WOW I'm properly impressed. My creative juices don't flow for gingerbread houses...
Can we vote now? I'd pick yours! You have a lot more on your than anyone else! Very creative!
