everyone loves an epic trophy

Last night, some of my co-workers and I participated in a gingerbread house competition. This competition had some specific rules though.  You could make anything except for a traditional house, and once the competition was over, your table could only have things on it that were edible....(so, no superglue holding things together...that kind of thing.)

We decided to make "Noah's Ark : After the Flood"- complete with people and animals and landscape devastation.

There were 7 other teams and a few of them made some brilliant creations so honestly, I didn't think we even had a chance of winning- especially since one other team also made Noah's Ark (during the flood).

To my utter amazement though, we not only won, but we also got to take home this EPIC TROPHY!

Fun time had by all:

In unrelated news.... Tonight is my first shift at Macy's!  I'm actually quite excited for it. (Not so excited about having to drive home around midnight though...)  I keep praying customers won't yell at me tonight.  I fully expect some occasional irate people, don't get me wrong, but not on a girl's first day!!
