Christmas 2012 marked the first year we did Elf on the Shelf! The kids were introduced to our elf Tinsel with a special North Pole breakfast complete with donuts, pajamas and toys! They were so excited. Tinsel got into all kinds of trouble leading up to Christmas and Finnegan really enjoyed waking up each day to find out what Tinsel had done while he was asleep.
We also made a gingerbread house as a family. Anyone who knows the story of the art class Brandon and I had together in high school knows that gingerbread houses are a touchy subject with us! :) Obviously, Finnegan has inherited our natural talent for gingerbread house decorating.
One of our other pre-Christmas projects was making Gingerbread play-doh. It was a lot of fun and smelled like gingerbread. Definitely a Pinterest success.
Christmas Eve with Nana and Papa was a lot of fun. They were spoiled as usual and loved every minute of it. I love Lorelai and Papa checking out her new vanity.
Christmas morning at our house was the most fun we have had yet. Finnegan was really into it. Lorelai is NOT a morning person and did not appreciate all the cameras before she had eaten her breakfast. Diva!
