Gossip Girl Finale

I've been watching Gossip Girl for about 5 years now. Megan and I even did the tour when we were in New York this summer. So when I heard that the show was ending I had to have a goodbye party for it. I made waffles like Rufus Humphrey would make. Chocolate covered strawberries like Serena loved and all sorts of other yummy brunch items.

Fresh fruit, waffles, yogart, and strawberries

Wearing headbands like Blair Waldorf

After brunch, I watched the very first episode of Gossip Girl and then watched the very end episode. Overall, it ended very nicely and tied everything up. Including the reveal of who Gossip Girl was! Which was very fun! For dinner I made "Upper East Sliders" and Waldorf Salad because the show is about the Upper East Side and the main characters surname is Waldorf. It was a fun way to watch the end of a very silly show.

Gingerbread House making!

Briss got home late on Sunday the 16th but we had time to build a Gingerbread house. It was a bit difficult for Kaellyn. We gave her a bunch of candy but told her not to eat it that it was for decorating only. It was setting her up for failure. Poor thing. But after Briss got the house assemble we let her eat and decorate at the same time. Until the house fell down. . .

But then we put it back up and she ate more of the house. So it was a fun time.

I had a gingerbread latte and a gingerbread candle burning

House fell down!

Nutcracker Fun

Briss was out of town with his cousin Bill for poker and shooting guns. So Kaellyn and I had a night of Nutcracker fun. We decorated cookies, ate several different kinds of candy and then watched the Nutcracker. Kaellyn watched Angelina Ballerina on the iPad while I watched the actual ballet of the Nutcracker. After she was done with her movie she started dancing to the music. It was so cute!
