..gingerbread house..

Here's the back story:
Jesse's old youth pastor's family, The Todd's, are Thanksgiving fans. The only reason I think they like Thanksgiving is because it kicks off Christmas season-which they LOVE!! So every year they make a gingerbread house and it has turned into a competition. We have spent Thanksgiving with Mike and Sandy for the last 3 years. Every year we get a lot of flack for not making a house. Last year Sandy went out and bought a fake one that was awesome. It plugs in and has little lights, just perfect. So we tried to pass it off as homemade. Threw some flour on Sandy's face, put on aprons, and scattered candy all over. Emailed them the pictures that afternoon and yep, they discovered it was false (Dang it..haha) This year, we stepped it up and created the below masterpiece:



hahahahaha Let's tour this house, I mean masterpiece.
-On the left we have Jesse and I holding stick snowman hands, the awkward third wheel behind us is Michael Jordan.
-We have a very proud and patriotic snowman who owns the home.
-His little friend in the front, a Notre Dame alum-aka Brandon (son of Sandy and Mike)
-Scottie Pippen also joined the party and E.T. snowman as well.
-And last but not least is little one-eyed snowdog named Molly.

Tacky, Yes.
Creative, Yes.
Took a long time, Yes.
Won the contest, No.

We will be back Todd/Boswell/Huntsinger family..we will be back.
