Gingerbread Wonderland

There was a community gingerbread house contest and it was fun to go look at all the creative entries! Brielle especially liked watching the model train going around some of them.
Here's a few of our favorites:

 The iconic Rotunda at UVA

 We loved the details on the wreaths and trees

Aren't the stone paths and thatched roofs cute??

There were big trains and gingerbread houses to pose with too!





Brielle liked looking at the big tree and presents in the lobby



Lily being a cutie pie for the camera!


Soon we'll be headed for another kind of wonderland--a chocolate one in Hershey, PA! Brandon matched to the cardiology program there starting summer 2013. We are super excited and proud of him! It'll be hard to leave our family and friends in Charlottesville but are looking forward to all the opportunities Hershey will have to offer.

I haven't been on your blog before. Thanks for sharing the link. It is so fun to your family Brandon! You do look like the happiest couple! Congratulations to you all. Do you know where you want to settle when medical school is over? We need good cardiologists in Las Vegas!

What a fun outing! I love doing Christmasy things like that. Congratulations on matching in Hershey! I'm sad you won't be in Virginia anymore, but we have friends who did their residency in Hershey! If you want I would be happy to connect the two of you! He was an orthopaedic surgeon, but the wife could probably tell you lots of things about living there if you'd like. And we just may visit you in your chocolate wonderland!

Looks like you had lots of fun at the gingerbread house event--they were incredible! Loved the photo op pictures with Brandon, Brielle and Lily--she really is holding up her head well now isn't she and with a cute big smile on her face!
