Gingerbread Houses on Parade!










I thought I'd show some pictures from our visit to the Grove Park Inn to see the Gingerbread Houses since so many of you were interested! It was such a wonderful "girls day"!! My girls, Mom, Sister & I all went shopping in the village by the Biltmore and then to the Grove Park Inn for tea and cake and seeing the Gingerbread Houses. We had a great time together :)!
The 1st pic above was taken on the lovely terrace out back. It was a cloudy day, but you can see the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background -- what a view! The other pics are all of the Gingerbread House competition. These were incredible! Some are very different from the traditional gingerbread house that I would normally think of. But the creativity was amazing, and it was truly worth seeing!!
And just so y'all know, I am working on my sunroom makeover!!! Hopefully I'll have pics soon :)!

  13. Oh those are just stunning. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the red one in the first pictures. How much fun a girl's day must be...says the mother of one son (she loves dearly but he just won't wear bows).

  31. Hi Stacy,

    I took my girls to the Grove Park Inn a few years ago and had the best time. So many great photo opps, especially in front of the huge fireplaces.

    Happy New Year to you and your family.

    Blessings,

    Heidi
