Maxwell in the Christmas pageant at church…

Spencer in the Christmas parade with scouts…

and Samantha just looking cute!

Merry and cheerful!

Our favorite elf, Gingerbread, was back again this year to check on the kids and give (always good!) reports back to Santa each night. The boys are slightly amused by Gingerbread at this point but Samantha still LOVES running downstairs each morning to see where he is. I just love her Christmas joy!! Gingerbread got a little clever this year with some new treats but kept many of his favorite old spots as well.

Gingerbread brought ornaments like he always does – but this year’s were special because they were from NYC!

We’re always glad when Gingerbread comes to visit in December…

and we can’t wait to see him again next year!
