Gingerbread house 2010

This weekend we had the annual Tobler Gingerbread House Party. Minus the Tobler's :( The Tobler's hosted this party the past few years while we were in Florida and we decided to continue the tradition. (And by the way THANK YOU AMY. I realize now how much work you put into it!) The Greenhalgh's and White's joined us.

Sterling and K.C.
Sterling and K.C. are Texas A&M fans, who will be playing LSU in a bowl game so notice the sign on their front lawn. This was their first year and we forgot to warn them ahead of time that building gingerbread houses as a couple will test your marriage. They finally put their marriage first and went with an easy flat roof. Craig and I have come a long way over the years. We didn't get into a fight this year!

Del and Rachel
Del and Rachel had an impressive igloo with a snow machine out front. We were giving them a hard time at first cause we didn't know what the heck they were building, but it turned out pretty awesome!

Craig and I
We were all happy by the end! It was a really fun night and helped us start feeling a little "at home" here in Texas after 6 months (I can't believe we've been here that long!). Thanks for the fun guys!

Way to go with keeping fun traditions alive! We used to do that every year in our family, too. And every year there would either be tears or tantrums from Amy--her house which she always tried to build bigger and better always fell at the last. Poor girl! But I'll bet as her kids get a little older, she will do the same with them. Good idea not having Riley help just yet!
