I’m Kristen. Welcome to All In My Twenties, my place to pour my little heart out on the daily!! This is the world just as I see it. Why dont you kick up your feet and stay awhile?!
Our weekend consisted of Christmas festivities and lots of home time.
We went to dinner with friends but skipped "going out" this weekend and IT WAS NICE.
We are always on the go.
One of us is always traveling to the other's city (thank HEAVEN thats almost over!!) and there are always plans we HAVE to keep so doing absolutely nothing was so much fun.
We got all of our Christmas shopping finished and proceeded to have movie nights and gingerbread house parties!!
My Christopher is a gingerbread house building machine!
He actually scolded me for borrowing a gummy bear off his house because he was color coordinating them so I really needed to "get my own"!! I literally laughed out loud! I had no clue the gingerbread house building would be so intense!
After we completed our little houses he decided that it was only right to place the houses in the lobby for the residents to vote on.
I thought he was kidding until he actually made a voting sheet and proceeded to carry it to the lobby.
This morning as his roommate was taking out the dog a fellow resident got in the elevator and stated, "I cant believe this is what they are spending our money on... GINGERBREAD HOUSE CONTESTS!" haha! She has no clue his apt actually made the houses and of course he DIDNT tell her.
So the building thinks the apt staff is having a gingerbread house contest and building management probably wont know what to think when they find it in the lobby this morning!
Final votes = I suck!! Im C and 3 of those were pitty votes from Chris! haha
Of course Christopher's house got first. I still think its only because he stole all of our house pieces and made one huge house! It was supposed to be a 7 house village.
Some up close views of our lovely architecture!
Those baby houses on the left are mine and the mansion on the right is Christophers!
Christopher's mansion!
At least I landscaped my yard!! The boys didnt!!
Sunday evening the cold hit Dallas and we celebrated with hot chocolate before bed!
I LOVES hot cocoa!!
Monday morning I woke up to snow IN DALLAS and it made my week!!
This just DOESNT happen in Houston EVER!
Oh the joys of Christmas fun!
I vote for your landscaping.
ReplyDeleteAnd also the fact that you all put a voting sheet up. That's pretty much brilliant.
Snow?! Really?! :/
ReplyDeleteWe made gingerbread houses this weekend too. They mostly smelled awesome and I wished I could eat the ginger part. Our roof kept sliding open. :(
I love this!!! Dane and I are doing this next week :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I love that he put it in the lobby...and that people actually voted!!
ReplyDeleteThis had me cracking up on instagram! I LOVE that he had to make it in to a contest! p.s....your's is totally cute!
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the houses, so much fun!
ReplyDeleteSNOW in houston, awesomesauce!
xoxo
Oh NO sweet girl! The snow was in Dallas!!!
DeleteAw the gingerbread houses are so cute!!! I'm doing 12 days of Christmas for my husband, and I need 3 more gift ideas- I'm thinking a gingerbread kit for one day would be cute, fun and something we could do together!!!

HAHA! I love y'alls gingerbread house making contest! So much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteA voting sheet?? Brilliant!!! This is too cute
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of Christmas fun :) I haven't built a gingerbread house in years!!
ReplyDeleteALSO LOVE that blue painting behind the table!
Your gingerbread house is so cute! I love that Christopher brought it down to the lobby for voting--and more so that people actually voted! haha. ~Brett
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your snow!! Also now I feel super inspired to have a gingerbread house competition! What's the joy of Xmas without some good, healthy competition!
ReplyDeleteOMG that is amazing...I was debating on building one with the hubs and this just made my mind up! We will be doing this now!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. Next year I want to host a gingerbread house making party. I haven't built one since I was a child.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea it snowed in Texas! It hasn't even snowed in my part of Canada (Vancouver) yet! It's on the mountains, but nowhere near the roads as of yet.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've actually never built a gingerbread house (I KNOW!) but I think yours is adorable. I love the yard. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! That poor girl who actually thinks the gingerbread contest was a Management thing! Too funny :)
ReplyDeletei'm crackin up that yall put it in the lobby for voting. seriously, that is priceless. i totally woulda stopped and voted.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea! :)
ReplyDeleteI always love a good gingerbread house competition! But.. I never seem to eat it afterwards. :) Did y'all enjoy eating yours?
ReplyDeleteHahaha this cracked me up. It looks like you have a little candyland trail in between there too.
ReplyDeleteYa'll are too cute! Ps. I feel like I channeled my inner Kristen on my blog today and I loved every second of it ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny how you guys stuck the Gingerbread House Village in the Lobby to be voted on!
ReplyDeleteThose gingerbread houses are awesome! Such a fun way to spend the night with your guy! And the contest idea cracks me up, I'm sure the residents found it interesting!
ReplyDeleteAww how fun, a gingerbread making contest
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous!! Maybe when I go home for Christmas I'll see some snow!!
ReplyDeletei made this same village with my girlfriends a few years ago....but we didn't cheat either - we made 7 houses...although i have to say the gingerbread mansion is pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe kids and I are going to work on a Gingerbread House in a few days. You guys rock, ours won't be anything that cute. I'm going to blame it on my 2 year old though!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your snow. I'm not a snow fan but 60's in Kentucky is not typical weather. It should already be snowing here
You should disqualify him. He created a "compound" not a house, hehe :P Therefore, yours wins by default! :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog..... and I am glad I do because I live in Dallas and totally missed the snow part!! It is freezing (and I love it) but I never saw snow!!
