This is my seventh year (non-consecutive) creating a gingerbread creation for the Eastman Museum, and it’s still one of my favorite traditions. I love being part of the show, and I usually make many visits with friends and family to see all the incredible creations on display.

The photo above shows my gingerbread along with my festive “neighbors.” The photo below captures my house during its photo shoot upon arrival at the museum. I’ve also included a selection of some of my favorite entries from the exhibition—there’s always so much creativity and detail to admire.
