What a fun day we had today! After the photo shoot (see post below) and a nap, we went over to Nate's friend's house to make gingerbread houses. Payton is in the same class as him at daycare. Little did we know her Mom teaches culinary classes at a local college. So this experience was incredible. She made the houses and even crushed up lifesavers and butter scotch pieces to make colored windows in the houses. She even put a Christmas tree brownie in each home. It was adorable. Then she braved having toddlers, a TON of candy and frosting, and let the kids have at it. It was a lot of fun!
Nate was very particular about lining up his candy (when he was not tasting it!)
He was so proud of his finished product! We had to pry it away from him that evening because he was insisting it go to bed with him. It now proudly sits as the center piece on our dining room table.
Here's another one of his daycare buddies, Travis, making his house
This is Payton. She will be a big sister in April so she practiced holding a baby, until Marissa got too squirmy.
We went home for a quick dinner. Although we ate so much yummy food at Payton's, that we were not too hungry. Then we met up with the Oberts for the Festival of Lights. This was our first time to go. It was a bit chilly, but is really well done.
Marissa watched it from the comfort of her car seat.
The most exciting thing for the kiddos were the benches to play on...
...and riding the school bus that shuttled us to and from the event.
