hayrides and gingerbread houses

We have had a busy day of seasonal fun!
First the annual pre-K/kindergarten hayride...
Hamp is fully prepared for the ride - ski goggles and all. Not sure what he thinks is going to happen?


Sam was ready for a fun ride, too. He particularly enjoyed hearing everyone (well, the parents mostly!) sing Christmas carols and pointing out all the deer throughout town!

Then we spent the afternoon decorating gingerbread houses at The Bakery!
Candy, homemade icing and creativity are fun...
but only if your buddies are there to have fun with you!The Bakery has been our sanctuary of sorts for the past 6 years... in fact, I will spare you the photographic bakery retrospective that I'm working on in my head. Instead I will simply say that I am dreading next week when the bakery will be no more. Not that after 29 years of doughnuts, coffee, hot lunches and community service the owners don't deserve a break! But I will miss the endless cup of coffee, the blueberry doughnuts on Friday, the kindness and respect with which they always treat me and my kids, and of course the Christmas peeps on the gingerbread houses...

  2. I already miss it and I only ate there once! It was the best biscuit + gravy + donut combo I've ever had. And of course, great coffee to boot. Please tell 'em Ali from Atlanta wishes them a happy retirement & sugar-filled dreams!
