Last Friday, we had the amazing opportunity to go to the Marvel Universe LIVE! show at the Amway Center.
Don’t have to tell you that little man was pretty captivated π ….full show review with fun pics coming soon on Orlando Mom’s Blog!

Saturday, we were excited for our Annual Gingerbread House Decorating Party with our gang! I can’t believe this is the 5th year we’ve gotten together to do this. So fun!
*
For a look back on last year’s festivities, check out our post here.

Lisa is AMAZING because she collects ALL the gingerbread house kits from us beforehand and works hard to build them & puts together this beautiful spread for the families. All we have to do is show up & have fun π

Daddy & Liam kicked off the decorating.
Someone might have been eating more candy than what was going on the house, at one point π
Working hard…..
Mommy helping out with the action
All done & proud of his work of art β€
So much fun!!
******************************************************************
And then, peeps…..there was this π
Lisa & Stephen continued their crazy {yet hilarious} tradition of decorating their own house after the kids wrapped things up. Let me tell you….it was serious business. They even recruited Haven this time around to help them.
Gettin’ crazy!! LOL! π
Ta da! ….they are not proud or anything…ha!
*****************************************************************
The Bengel’s neighborhood has a fun tradition in December of a surprise visit by Santa. We were thrilled that he came by after the party…great timing!! Liam was SO surprised that he came all the way down from the North Pole just to say hi to them! π
After that, he discovered the Bengel’s Polar Express choo-choo train {again} & that was all she wrote, folks. If you recall, he found this last year & we couldn’t pull him away. He LOVES trains!
It was a fantastic evening at our Gingerbread Party with friends!! We laughed that we’ll be doing this each year until at some point, the kids will be sick of it and it will be just the adults on the patio decorating the houses π …
Until next time, friends!

Nevermind the kids….More important for the big children. Keep it up. It’ll come in handy in your old age. Love you.
