Our Dewdrop was home for the holiday and we made the most of the time with her. Lots of snuggles happened, lots of fun too.
Christmas was a repeat of Thanksgiving. It was such a good day, why not do it again? We made gingerbread houses, walked in the woods, laughed, and ate together.
A perfect family day- plus presents!
Ki Ki made this house from graham crackers.
Yes, she is skilled in everything she does. Give her a bit of fabric and you get a custom pair of shorts, made without a pattern and fit perfectly. Give her a box of cookies and you get a Victorian mansion.
This is just the beginning of the mansion, it turned out just wonderful.
Just like our Thanksgiving, we had ideal weather.
Just right for enjoying some time outdoors and working up an appetite for homemade pot pie. We had vegan and chicken varieties, and I was smart enough to make them up a couple of days early so I could pop them into the oven and enjoy our time together instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
Because no one wants to feel trapped at Christmas…
Well, most people wouldn't.
Our gingerbread homes made a pretty centerpiece for the dinner.
We had more than we could even fit onto the table. Now that the parties are over, we will load them up, and take them out to the woods as a gift to the fairies.
We have enough of them to set up whole communities for the fey.
And we are up for any excuse to go for a walk in the woods together.
