Aunt Ellie and her friends Jess and Rachel have entered the Washington Post's Peep-o-rama contest now for five years running. They have yet to win officially but they're champions in our view. Here's the five years of Peeps. Rules include using Peeps and being clever. Hopefully the fifth one's the charm!
2009: Peep Bloom
In "Peep Bloom", peeps stroll
along the tidal basin, enjoying peak bloom of the cherry blossoms. Our peeps
can be seen running in the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler, practicing flying kites for
the National Kite Festival, sharing a picnic, taking photos, and floating along
in paddle boats.

2010: "Snowpeepcalypse" DC's major snowstorms, Snowpocalypse and Snowmageddon, were covered by the
media from every possible angle. That is, every angle but one.
Everyone seemed to ignore the plight of the Peeps during the record-setting
snow levels. Those poor Peeps were up to their ears in snow, as depicted
in our diorama, and could barely move through the snow-clogged streets.
Those Peeps can't wait for spring (and neither can we)!
Our diorama depicts Lady PeepPeep as she arrives at the 2011 Grammys to perform
her hit song, "Hatched this Way." She is carried down the red
carpet in an egg, past throngs of reporters, photographers, and fans, while
Justin Peepber waits in the background, upstaged by her grand entrance.
2012: Newt Peeprich's Moon Colony
At the end of his second term, President Newt
Peeprich has delivered on his campaign promise and established a colony on the
moon. Now he vows to keep out illegal aliens, achieve statehood, and win the
right to vote--ending Washington's outrageous taxation of the colony without
representation.
2013: Clarence Thomas makes a Peep!
On January 14, 2013, Supeep Court Justice Clarence Thomas
stunned his fellow justices when he made a peep during oral arguments for the
first time in nearly seven years.
