On the 1st of December Nana had all of the kids over to make gingerbread houses. She got Evi and Ashlynn prebuilt houses that just needed decorations, Madi had to build her house, and Ethan had a train to build. Ethan by far had the most complicated build, especially since he was missing some pieces. He had to make made some revisions with graham crackers, but he made it work! Nana made the rule of no eating candy when we started building, but that lasted about 5 seconds. Everyone, including the adults had quite the sugar high by the time we were done.
After gingerbread houses were done we took a play break, and then headed over to the Deerfield Fair Grounds for the Holiday Stroll. We picked up Garrett on the way. Ashlynn had a blast looking at all of the Christmas lights, and trying to find Santa. At the moment Santa is her 'Very Best Friend Ever' according to her! It was a very cold night, so we weren't able to stay long. Jackson was in the carrier zipped up in my jacket and Ashlynn was in the stroller. We skipped the craft making, as that would have been a nightmare to try to get Ashlynn back into the stroller afterwards, but we did stop and get Ashlynn a blue velvet cupcake from Sweet Olive Bakery! We never did catch up with Santa, and on the way back to the car Ashlynn kept yelling 'Santa, Santa where are you' and 'Come out, come out wherever you are!'
