Many thanks to the Cobbs, Hunters, and Eoffs, who all came over to help celebrate the holidays with us. Part of the festivities included a gingerbread house building “contest”:

The “Mr. and Mrs. Clean” award: The Hunter House. Very tidy and neat. Notice the little snow man and the automobile. Very nice attention to detail.

The “WTF Were They Smoking?” award: The Sagara Shanty. Note the funkadelic smiley face and the stylish unibrow. Very chic.

The “Hippest House” award: The Cobb Cantina. Mad props for sporting the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale label. Nice wreath on the back side, too.

The “Best Adaptation When Everything Goes To Hell” award: The Eoff’s Midtown-Sac Government Building in the Lavender District. Hey, give credit where credit’s due. Greta took a wrecked residential dwelling and turned it into an income-generating property. That’s resourcefulness and improvisation at its best.

Happy holidays, everyone!

P.s. - the kids had a great time, too!
