Christmas Cookie Family Bake-off! Entry by Gordie Flood:

My first Gingerbread house, a scale model of the Flood family cabin at Strathcona Park, Pelican Lake, Manitoba.

Featuring my Mom, The unstoppable Bernice Flood, dressed in a bathing cap and fur coat, heading down to the lake for a polar-bear dip.

She’s accompanied by her Great-granddaughter Elena in a buttoned bathing suit. Exclusive fashion designs by Marco.

The cabin in summer and how I imagine it would look like on a frosty winter day.

The view we enjoy from the deck catching up with neighbouring cousins and friends. A dip in the lake with Mom last summer. She swam for an hour that day!
