The most wonderful time of the year!

 

Christmas time means lots of candy, presents, gingerbread houses and parties!!

 

  We went to the Chestnuts' Gingerbread party...this year I made a simpler house...

 Yea, right....

 

I did include a golden Moroni on top made totally from the gold foil on the top of the apple cider bottles!

Apparently there were multiple bets going on that I would not finish/make a gingerbread house...well: HA!!! In your face!
 

 

 The Hanberg kids...Avery is in my primary class and is just so wonderful!!!

Mrs. Merlee was so generous, she even had presents prepared for the younger siblings. Lia loved opening her gift.

 

This year, we had a new addition to our little family...meet Lucky the Christmas Elf on a shelf...such a good religious little elf... notice he and Spiderman (sitting on a pink potty) are both reading their scriptures!

 Cutest ELF on the Shelf. EVER!!!
