Christmas Fun

Well our Elf on a Shelf, Beauford, is back!! The kids were so excited to see him! This was one of his recent nights at our house. He decided to go camping and roast marshmallows with one of his friend deer.

Last night for family home evening we had a lesson on Christmas and then decorated gingerbread men. I for some reason cannot get sugar cookies that are for decorating to turn out, ever!!! I decided this year to bag the sugar cookies and try home made gingerbread. I love how they turned out!! They were really yummy too.

Birthday facts

Favorite Color: Pink

Favorite Movie: Tinker bell: Secret of the Wings

She is so excited to start kindergarten this fall and is such a little social butterfly. She has had no problems at all adjusting to our new home in Georgia and has quickly made many friends!

Her birthday cake. She asked for a pink cake with purple flowers. Definitely one of the more simple cakes I have made but still fun!! The frosting in the pictures has more of a blue tint to it, but it is a periwinkle purple.

She had to have a strawberry cake so the cake was pink so I just made the butter cream frosting the same purple as the flowers
