Gingerbread House Decorating at The Ritz Carlton-Philadelphia

Today was so much fun. We created memories today that we will remember always! George, LiLi and I went to The Ritz Carlton for the Gingerbread House Event. It was GREAT! When we first got there, they put an apron and chef's hat on LiLi while passing out mimosas to the adults. They had carolers singing all the Christmas favorites. We went in to the ballroon and they had big tables for all the kids to sit and decorate the gingerbread house. The best part was that the houses were already put together so there was NO frustration waiting for the house to crumble. LiLi had a BLAST and decorated most of it herself. Santa Claus made a surprise visit after an amazing brunch. He read all the kids "Twas the Night Before Christmas" while they all gathered around him. Then all the kids had their pictures with Santa while they staff at The Ritz wrapped up all the gingerbread houses. It was a wonderful experience that we will definitely do again.

How fun! I am glad you all had a wonderful time! Andrew made a gingerbread house at school on a milk carton. Do you think his mommy let him eat it?! We have it displayed in our house as a decoration. Luckily, Andrew agreed it made a great decoration! Have a Merry Christmas!
