Gingerbread Houses and Christmas Fun

The past couple of days have been full of Christmas fun. Everett and Hampton's Gigi came to visit yesterday and the boys had their Christmas with her.

Hampton got a few toys that are all his own!

Everett really loved his new toys as well. Especially his Thomas the train blocks set.



Today we went to the Grove Park Inn to see the Gingerbread House Competition. This is so fun and they do it every year.

They were all so good. Everett and Hampton did so well waiting in the long line.


Here are some of our favorites......



Eric really loved the Frank Lloyd Wright house.......




It is so hard to get a good picture with two squirmy babies. I got a good one of Eric and the boys.

Couldn't quite got a good picture and me and the boys.

Everett was repeatedly requesting a cookie, so we went to the bakery and indulged.



I think the highlight for Everett was the huge fireplace. He sat down next to it and did not want to leave. The fireplace is in the lobby, which was very busy so I think he just enjoyed watching all the people. After we left the resort we drove around looking at the Christmas lights. It was such a calm, peaceful ride home. We even stopped by Chick-fil-A to pick up some dinner for Everett. A lovely evening indeed.
