Robbed...

The judges sucked. And I'm not just being a sore loser. Well.... maybe a little. But they picked the winner because it had broccoli on it and they had entered a competition themselves and lost because of the use of broccoli. Well, there's a reason for that, losers. No one wants to see broccoli on a gingerbread house except for your pathetic selves and picking a winner based on your loss is pretty lame. There. Venting done. I am being dramatic, but Spike and I worked HARD and everyone else admitted to throwing theirs together the day of the competition. Also, ours was the best. Clearly. But I'll let you be the judge.

This is House #1 and it had very cute inside details... but that also meant it was missing a roof.
House #2 was not a house at all, but the Polar Express. It was adorable and I would not have minded at all if this was the winner. Well, again, maybe a little....House #3 was made of brick, well brick on top of a store bought gingerbread model. But the American Flag and garage were very impressive.This is the winner... it's some kind of African Safari theme, which would have been very cool if the broccoli had been standing upright at the time of judging. Oh man.
And this is ours..... I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.But please notice the lake...And the snowman and sled...
And the frickin' Adirondack chairs! Okay, fine, I'm a sore loser!
