Gingerbread Houses

This tradition is becoming one of my very favorites. 

I thought this year that they all would like to do their own so I had bought a 4 piece mini village set.

They did these on Tuesday night. 

Harper's village "toy shop".

She didn't get upset by this, but she really could have used some help.

Dave judged all 4 of the village houses.

Logan won and Ry came in second. 

These were kind of small and they did want to work together in teams so I bought 2 bigger houses to decorate. 

Logan chose to work with Harper, and Presley and Ry wanted to work together too. 

They were put in separate rooms to create.  I added a few elements throughout their working time. 

Both teams worked very well together. 

Logan and Presley were both the leaders, but they did a great job of delegating jobs to Ry and Harper. 

It was a quiet work hour. 

I caught Ry eating the frosting quite a few times.

Dave printed off official gingerbread score cards.

And Logan and Harper won by 2 points. 

Harper's creation of the wreath clock put them just those couple of points over Presley and Ry.
