One of my favorite family traditions is making gingerbread houses. When we were little we made them sometime in December. For the last several years we have started doing it on New Years day, seeing as none of us spend the day working at the rink like we use to. I'm not sure when it all started, but sometime, someone (probably Dave and Marthe) started making more than just your normal gingerbread house. We have had all sorts of things over the past years, planes, pirate ships, farms, and spaceships. I guess the ground rule is that you have to at least use, in some way, the pieces from the gingerbread house kit. You can cut the pieces up any way you like. This year was no exception. I was thrilled to finally have a partner. Devin and I decided to make a carousel. I must say we were very pleased with our finished product. You may vote for which "house" you think is the best.Devin & Julie: Carousel
Peter & Emily: No Snow!
David & Marthe: Trogdor
Mark
Brent: Castle with Drawbridge
Aaron: A Church with Parking Lot

It looks great! Did you ever see the Gingerbread House Competition on the Food Network? One couple made a carousel like yours, but it actually twirled! Sadly, they didn't win. :(
