My ancestor John Watkins, who immigrated from England to Midway, Utah in the 1850's, was recognized at a gingerbread-house display. He was an architect, and built this amazing house back in the 1800's. This house is still in great condition and is still inhabited today. The gingerbread house was so close to the real thing thing! Anyways...just something interesting to share.

hey, so are you guys in midway? does your family know any bonners?
No, we're in Orem, with Mike's Grandma. His father's family used to live in Midway - a long time before his father was actually born though. The house is still there, like Mike said, and is still lived in but not by any relatives. I've never seen it, but I'd like to.
Actually, John Watkins built 3 houses in Midway, one of which was for the Bonner Family.
That is so cool! Who made the edible gingerbread house?
We don't know. It was at a creche exhibit MIke's mom and grandma went to a few weeks ago.
