Gingerbread house making has been a fun Christmas tradition for me for quite while. When I was younger there was very specific graham cracker engineering involved and spirited competition to design the most original, most colorful or most outlandish creations.
This year we took our Gingerbread house building north to Portsmouth, NH to share it with Andrew's cousin Sarah and her family, Bettye, Jeff, Helki, Annabel and Finley. Upon arriving in Portsmouth we decided to stop and get a little inspiration from a local gingerbread house contest that was on display. And we were amazed by some of the creations!

| a particular favorite! |
Our next stop was our hotel where we were greeted with a very welcome hot chocolate bar! And we found the indoor pool!
And then... gingerbread houses and t-shirt decorating with the cousins!
