Gingerbread Playdate

Today Patrick & Finnegan, Lizzy & Ginny, and Luke & Grace all brought their Mommies over for a fun morning of decorating gingerbread houses!

We all shared in some yummy snacks of gingerbread cookies, gingerbread cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, warm apple cider, and apple juice for the kiddos.

Then it was time to decorate the houses - and what fun it was! Candy went everywhere, including into the eight little bellies gathered around the table! I cannot say that I blame them - what two-year old can resist marshmallows, M&M's and gum drops?

Ella turned out to be rather meticulous and took her time placing each piece of candy. Aidan; however, preferred to just dump a bunch of candy on top of the house and see what would stick!

After decorating, everyone played for a while, and then took home their personalized favors - a stocking filled with fun treats for each of the good little girls and boys!


It was a great morning - we are having such a wonderful time this year enjoying the abundance of Holiday events with our closest friends!
