I had such a blast at last year's Gingebread Barn Building Competition, that I was so excited to compete again. I'm always happy to be at The Carolina Inn, so I'll take any excuse.
Once again we enjoyed delicious hot chocolate and festive Christmas cookies.
We worked and worked and worked - I think Santa would hire us as elves.
Here's our southern masterpiece - complete with a monogram and snowman.
And here I am with teammates Cara and Laura.
While we didn't win best gingerbread barn this year, we definitely won messiest. I'd say the messier the more fun that was had, and we certainly had a great time. Merry, Merry!
