WARNER FAMILY GINGERBREAD HOUSE CONTEST~ 2009

Last year we made our family gingerbread house contest public so that we could get you all to vote. It was even on the local news to our surprise, thanks to Emily.  Friends near and far, we want you all to come vote for your favorite gingerbread house.  Here are the 3 things we want you to vote for:

1. Most Creative

2. Most Colorful

3. Your Favorite House

I hope you enjoy looking at them.  Thanks for coming to vote.

#1.  Macaroni Paradise

Macaroni Paradise is a hotel that sits on a remote island in a magical place surrounded by water that only little snowmen know how to find. Snow men and women come on vacation to "ride the egg noodle waves" and eat at the seaside Macaroni Cafe on the side of the gingerbread house. This magical place is open all year round, but is especially busy around Christmas time when Santa has the Snowmen working overtime to make our cold weather all "white" outside. Here at Macaroni Paradise you are able to enjoy the architecture of different kinds of macaroni noodles in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes (all hand dyed) that are always aimed to please the eye.

#3  The Nut House

This Gingerbread House definately has a "double meaning" ha ha.  As you look at all of the pictures, see if you can name all of the different nuts that have been used.
