Gingerbread House Decorating Contest

One of the things I love the most about the holidays is all of the family traditions. And I am always looking for new traditions to add to our holidays. So, my friend Nikki blogged about one of her annual Christmas traditions and I thought it was such a good idea, that I totally copied it. Thanks for the fun idea Nikki :)

So this was the first annual Salmi/Hanson Family Gingerbread House Decorating Contest. It was so much fun. I thought I was really going to have to work hard to get my family to cooperate. But they all played along and we had a great time.

Here are the teams:

Jeddy & Me


Dad & Brother
