BLAST FROM THE PAST! GINGERBREAD HOUSES

Ok, so the post I wrote right before this was this years Gingerbread House.  We do them every year (or most) and thought I would let you all see the past ones we've done.  Mine are the crappy, ugly ones and Tim's are the amazing ones. 

2006: The first year.  I forgot to make angled pieces so I could have an angled roof.  As a result, I have a flat roof, so common in Arizona.

Tim's creation: front view complete with a pebble path,
fish pond and smoking chimney.

Top view of Tim's creation. The little green thing on the
bottom left of the picture is an army man crawling.

The say a picture is worth a thousand words.

2007:

Not sure what happened to more picutres, but this is
two story with a porch roof in red.  Overacheiver.

This is mine and the only one I really like. It was premade but I bought
all the candies. I think it turned out well.  I really like the roof!

 2009:

Front view of Tim's creation. Drive way, snow and
Christmas tree.  Snow on the roof too.

An off-center view.

The back complete with a balcony and small patio. He even put in a garden area.
That's the brown section on the bottom left of the picture.

Side view.  Such the overacheiver.

My pathetic little house. There are a couple of
snowmen and even Christmas lights this time.

2010:

This is mine. I think it turned out ok. We didn't have a lot of time and
hadn't planned much, so it was a little plain.

Tim's fun one. I used the same pattern to make both ours
but his is just more spectacular.

POLL QUESTION:

Looking back at my sad attempts at Gingerbread houses, would you ever guess I am the daughter of an amazing artist?  Feel free to leave your answer in the comment section.  My comment would be something like this: "Heck NO!! He has more artistry in his pinkly nail that I have in my entire body!! The mad skills definately skipped me!" Don't be shy.
