Remember the Gala night when my mother Pat and I hit the town?

While we were off the kids got to spend their time with the best babysitter in the world...

The best!

I have known this sweet young man since he was 10. We spend Christmas Eve or Day with his family, and the kids just love him. He plays. He is a kid. And there is always an adventure to be had when Jarrod comes to play/work! Jake is always worn out and tuckered when we get home... Sometimes there's a mishap or two. But, alas, it goes with the 'play' part of their adventures. I have learned to let it be...

Anyway, our babysitter arrived with all sorts of goodies to keep the kidlets in pure sugar heaven. You know, one for the artist, one for the house? Jarrod's mom made the gingerbread panels and train parts... She deserves a huge medal! Love that family!

The kids were still awake at 'just before' 10pm when we got home! They were so dissapointed we came home early.. but once they hit the pillows, they were out!!!

A great night for all...

Sugarplums definitely danced in their heads!

fa la la la la!

What amazing Gingerbread houses they created...and what a great kid watcher....I'm thinking he is definitely going to grow up to be a great Father one-day!!! How very sweet & AWESOME was that...Did a part of you want to stay home and create too ??? :D I hope you had a nice cozy warm day...it's FREEZING here, so I'm afraid it must be very cold in your neck of the woods too....I hope you have a great week....that it's filled with LOTS of warm special moments...Sweet blessings!

Those Gingerbread houses are toooooo cute. Very fun and totally amazing for them to get to do. As usual, things are so cool over there at the Sexton Ranch.
