The Do512 Family team arrived for a small gathering of parents and kids for cocoa, cookie decorating, and a toast to the holiday season. The kids were delighted to peek around the loft and check out all of the Christmas trees, decorations, nutcrackers, books and toys, too. With a full kitchen, it was a super place for our team to host a holiday party where we could heat pizza and snacks, and stir up cocktails for parents, too. The dining room comes all set up with a great table setting for a delightful dinner party.
After our little holiday gathering, our Editor had the chance to stay the night with her kiddos, and they had a magical time! They put on their Christmas pjs, poured more hot cocoa, and snuggled up on the couch to watch a classic holiday movie surrounded by the glow from the living room’s Christmas trees. When it was time to tuck in for the night, there were soft beds upstairs in the loft, where they could dream of “visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads”.
The loft space also has lots of board games, puzzles, toys, stuffed animals, and even a craft table where you can write a letter to Santa and make an ornament. There’s really so much to do in this adorable space!
