When you have a family of architects, builders, real estate agents, remodelers, and all-around hands-on people, a gingerbread building competition becomes a very complicated affair.
Jay had to build a mid-century modern house. His dad built the Denver Art Museum extension designed by Daniel Libeskind. His brother Luke made an APARTMENT COMPLEX, with, I might add, a reflecting pool.
My contribution to the world of gingerbread house-buildingâ€â€and why is it “gingerbread” when nothing is actually gingerbread?â€â€was an A-frame house with a certain kitty on the side. If you do not recognize the feline, I have TOTALLY failed in my marshmallow art.
The competition was one of the highlights of our recent Denver trip. There was plenty of eating, general lazing around by Dot, some gorgeous snow, a poker game or two, and lots of family.
You haven’t lived until you have seen what graham cookies, icing and jelly beans can do.
