Santa's "Nice" List ~

Whew!!! December is a busy month! And i'm trying to cram in as much "Family Memories" as possible. Homemade ornaments, homemade christmas cards, cookies, baked goodies, driving around looking at christmas lights and going to see the Jolly fella himself. One day "Buddy" the Elf brought the kids something fun.....a Gingerbread Choo Choo Train! The kids were uber excited to dive into that project. Me...well i knew that it would be tricky getting the littles to actually put the candy on the train. SO here are a few pictures ....


The front of the train was decorated by little man. UMMMM....yep, he ate most of it. HA!


The back was little girls to decorate all her own. And she did a wonderful job.

Little girl did most of this side too. And actually has some candy on it .

And here is a front view. IT CRACKS ME UP!

And there you have it folks....Train wreck 2011 i mean Lovely Gingerbread Train 2011! It ain't perfect but i love it. :o)

I don't know about you but i STILL have a few gifts to buy. I bought most of the littles christmas gifts early this year and thank goodness i did!! I can't believe how fast certain toys fly off of the shelves.

The kids wrote a list for Santa this year....Items on that list include Woody, Jessie, Art Easel and a Inno Tab. What are some of the Hot items that your kids put on their list to Santa this year??

North Pole Breakfast 2011~

Oh the excitement!! :o) "Buddy" the elf came to us from the North Pole for a special breakfast. What a wonderful...fun filled morning we had.

The kids woke up to find a table filled with yummy goodness from the North Pole!! And who brought us this Christmas Breakfast asked my little girl????

Well that would be the little elf i told her. Buddy? Buddy's back?? Yippee!!! Just look at that face!!


At the North Pole they have Snow covered donuts and gingerbread men for breakfast. And we got to enjoy these treats this morning.

Along with Hot cocoa topped with yummy marshmallows. Buddy seems to like marshmallows...maybe they are his favorite?? hehe!!

I know they were this little fellas favorite. He was so excited that he got to drink in a "big" cup.

I watched as this little guy took his first taste of Hot Cocoa....REAL hot {warm} cocoa {not cold chocolate milk}.

Buddy left a sweet letter for both the kids letting them know that he is watching them and reporting back to the "Big Jolly Fella".

And beside the letter he left them a little gift. SOCKS of course to keep their little piggies warm all winter. :o)

All in all the North Pole Breakfast was a HUGE hit. The littles L*O*V*E*D it and now we have a new family tradition to kick off the christmas season.

Lots more family fun in store this month leading up to Christmas. Hopefully things won't get to crazy around here and i can share some of the fun. Happy Holidays!!!
