Gingerbread Elf

January 4, 2023

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!

Cookie party

January 3, 2023

Samantha had her cookie party on the Wednesday before Christmas it was as sweet as could be! After last year got cancelled because her BFF got covid, Samantha was extra excited about it this year!

Unfortunately, one of her friends got strep and couldn’t come at the last minute. Sad…but she still had two friends there to decorate cookies! Cuties!

They all had fun together! Love this tradition!

Maxwell also decorated some later that day. I didn’t get a picture but his were pretty impressive! Spencer never decorated any but ate plenty of the gingerbread men. Ha!

Other cookie parties here!
