The Gingerbread House The Kids Built!

Happy Holidays Lovelies....at this time of the year, what makes me most happy are the children...seeing them enjoying themselves and getting ready for Santa is the best feeling...so, when I received a call from my beautiful friend Elizabeth Messina of Kiss The Groom, telling me about all the fun she had capturing all these cute children on film personalizing their very own gingerbread house, well, I was just to thrilled to share it with you all.

This fun day took place at a private residence and all the gingerbread houses and baked goods are from Solvang Bakery....now if you haven't heard about Solvang Bakery, you need to seriously check them out...owners, Melissa Redell and Susan Halme are a mother-daughter team and they have been baking their famous gingerbread houses since 1981!

And, no worries if you don't live in CA, they can ship those delicious baked goods directly to you....check out a few names on their client list....

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
David and Victoria Beckman
Tiffani Theissen Smith
Janet Jackson
Shaun Cassidy

You are going to love this shoot...and what's not to love...the kids are all so adorable and I'm loving all the sweet details...the aprons are the cutest....I wish I could have been there to see the smiles and hear the laughter from the kids having so much fun......and, you'll see Elizabeth's beautiful daughter Jasmine joining in all the fun....this shoot will totally get you in the holiday spirit....Enjoy!!

Don't you just love these aprons!
