The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 6

Today our special thing was to make gingerbread houses. We do this every single year and we always have a pretty large group. Today was no different. So many kids and so much mess and noise, but the kids had so much fun. There were over twenty kids here working on their houses at several tables. We did things a little different this year as we usually go see Santa first and then eat lunch out, but this time we skipped Santa and lunch and just ordered pizza here. There were just too many kids to do all of that together and keep up with everyone. I think this what we will do from now on. It worked well. 
I took a lot of pictures, but didn’t want to overload this with so many so I will probably be posting some gingerbread house pictures for a few days.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 5

Today our special thing was to dip pretzels and then add sprinkles. We had pretzel rods and melted chocolate and vanilla melting wafers then dipped the pretzels in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Then we added sprinkles. The kids did love this, but it was so messy. We had sprinkles and mess all over the place. But, they tasted good and it was fun so another day down in our Christmas count down. 
We also read The True Gift by Patricia MacLachlan and then started The Christmas Doll by Elvira Woodruff. Both books are really good. I just love The Christmas Doll and so do all the kids. It is a wonderful book. We had a nice day reading and making our pretzels – kind of a lazy day today.
