gingerbread elf

Like the past few years, Gingerbread Elf came to visit on the 1st of December. He kept a watch over the kids, gave good reports to Santa, and even brought a few goodies! Some of his antics…

He brought ornaments for everyone! A ball and glove for Maxwell, a dinosaur for Spencer, a ballerina for Samantha, a candy house for me, and a Frosty for Robert!

Elf Antics in 2017 and 2016 and 2015

After having Samantha’s friends over in the morning, we were invaded by boys in the afternoon! Maxwell and Spencer each got to have a few friends over. We did the party right after the last day of school and they were pumped up!!

The boys were not quite as careful with their decorations! and they also ate a lot more of their cookies than the girls did! ha!

After about 25 minutes, all of the boys had finished and gone to play – all except for Maxwell and Max! They both sat there and diligently finished their cookies while chatting away! Love them.

It was a fun day and I’m so glad I made the time to let these awesome kids have some Christmas fun with their friends!!

Cookie Party

January 2, 2019

Like in 2017 and 2016, I let the kids invite some friends over for a little Christmas cookie decorating party!

Samantha had two friends over in the morning and they were just about the cutest and sweetest little cookie decorators I had ever seen!

They were so quiet and careful with their cookies. Well, Samantha was at first but then she really got into the sprinkles!

Samantha’s masterpieces!

Love this sweet girl!!

And she loved getting to have her own special morning!

Onto the boys tomorrow – see you then!

Merry Christmas!

After an initial unexpected visit with Santa in Highlands, we made our official visit to see him last night! The kids were excited and requests were made!

Samantha asked for a “big Barbie head and a bike. A purple one.” Note, the bike was a very last minute addition to her Christmas list! Let’s see if Santa can deliver.

Spencer came fully prepared with printed out pictures of the specific Jurassic World Lego sets he wants. He wasn’t taking any chances!

Maxwell asked for two Alabama jerseys and a Nintendo Switch. Another note, Santa did not know he wanted those jerseys until very recently and is not sure the elves are going to have enough time to sew them! We shall see!

It was a great visit and we are now officially ready for Christmas!!!
