Gingerbread

Today we went to the annual Gingerbread competition at the Bellingham Ferry Terminal.

All week Mom and I had been planning this little surprise for my Daddy.

You see, at school last week our class, The Teddy Bear Room, made part of our school's entry into the annual competition. We made and decorated the engine of this fine looking train. The Rainbow Room made the back half of the train. When I found out it would be on display at the festival I decided it would be fun to bring my Dad and surprise him with our creation.

Boy was he!

And so were we, actually, when I saw that we had won first prize in our age division.

While at the festival we also enjoyed hot apple cider, carolers, watching the horse drawn carriage rides and doing some holiday crafts.
