Elf Party!

My favorite Christmas movie is Elf, with Will Ferrell. If you haven’t seen the movie, you should go rent it! A couple weeks ago, I decided it would be fun to have an Elf party. So today I had a group of friends come over. The morning started off with a search around Quito for the movie Elf. There are tons of movie stores all over the city that sell bootleg copies for $1.50. Sadly most of these stores did not have Elf. I finally stumbled upon a store that had the movie and happily handed over my $1.50.

It was quite the exciting event! We made gingerbread houses and drank hot chocolate, then went down and did some gingerbread houses with the kids, ate pizza and watched Elf. It really got us into the Christmas spirit. One of the Tias came up to judge our gingerbread houses. One house won for most creative, one for most elaborate, and one for most prettiest. My house, sadly enough, was not in any of those categories.
