1st Annual Kids’ Holiday Cookie Decorating

PS ~ We’ll be updating this blog post shortly with some photos from the day (oh my goodness, what super cute kids!!) So make sure to check back soon! We’ll also be announcing the winner of the Jelly-Bean filled Christmas Tree Cookie Jar!

Nicole & I had so much fun & we’re so happy to have met those of you that were able to make it out! We’re really excited to get the opportunity to be a part of the community-building that’s currently going on in this incredible new neighbourhood, and we’ll be in touch to let you know about future events. This one was honestly planned pretty last minute ~ but it was a huge success! We’re looking forward to the next one that’ll be coming soon (…perhaps Valentine’s Day??!)

Thank you again for coming out! And a special thanks to Nicole Benes for being such a big help with this event! I couldn’t have even come close to getting it all ready without her partnership. She’s amazing. If you ever have any mortgage-related questions, absolutely give her a call as I know that she’s a super friendly, honest, and follow-through kind of girl! She’ll get things done for you (believe me, I know ;D)
