Run, Run As Fast As You Can...

You can't catch them...they're the Gingerbread Makers! Saturday, Daddy worked in the North Seattle area. We surprised him and his brother who were working in the freezing cold installing windows with a Merry Mocha from the local neighborhood coffee shop. We made their day! Which is what I love about this season. When else do you get to order coffees called Merry Mochas? Just saying it makes you smile, doesn't it?

When we got home from dropping Em off from the C6 at her house after she stayed the night, Friday. Where we did makeovers and Madi's first makeover (see below for that special post). On the way home, I had to pick up diapers/pull-ups (and panties, seriously - read the post below...lots of growing up happening around this house) and these cute little gingerman lollipops. We were going to Grandpa Eddie's friends' house for their annual holiday party. Killing time while waiting for an evening party can be torture...on me especially when Daddy isn't home. "Can we get ready?" "Is it time?" "When is Daddy coming home?" "You said 5pm we can get ready, right?" Yeah, it's kinda crazy to hear all that x4 when the holiday excitement is all around. SO, I decided to divert them with a craft. We made these fancy gingerman lollipops.

Our elves worked hard and gave most of them away to our gracious host and hostess. And, of course their Grandpa Eddie. They made me promise that if we got this that they would still make their Gingerbread House that we make every year. Yes, children. We can.
