Another Virtue Win
FHE in a single's ward wouldn't be the same without a December Gingerbread Designer Challenge. I was lucky enough to be paired up with Aaron (of whooping cough extravaganza 2005). We were given 25 minutes to create a little piece of heaven with some graham crackers and a bucket load of accessories. Aaron went to work on a set of palm trees and I was the designated home designer. I went with a simple design, hoping our attention to detail would pay off. After about 2 tons of frosting, several tootsie roll logs for wall supports and a spiffy little outhouse, we were finished. The judging was brutal, but Aaron and I came out on top. He is absolutely hilarious. . . the perfect partner. Willing, whitty, and not too serious. The Reid/Virtue home took first place overall by a landslide. I knew watching the Food Network Gingerbread House Challenge would pay off someday. Who thought up this silly tradition? Maybe I'll do some research. . .in my spare time.

I remember one of the few home evenings I went to was centered around building gingerbread houses. We decided to let our creativity run wild and built this bitchin' gingerbread truck. Probably the greatest truck made of fake gingerbread ever. Anyway, they judged the houses and stuff and we lost to the two "spiritual" guys who built a gingerbread temple. That may have been my last home evening.
That gingerbread house is truly professional - hey maybe next year you and Aaron can go on the road and go to the Whitehouse and build their gingerbread house. I saw it on T.V. - Yours was as good - maybe it needs to be a little bit bigger but I know you could do it. The temple gingerbread house really seems a little sacreligious (spelling). I think I would have gone for the truck.
