Christmas Traditions

The yearly gingerbread house turned out much better this year! The boys and I had a blast and they really wanted to make a "pretty home". Now we are just trying to keep it up high enough on the counter so that they can't eat it!

The boys also put their 2011 handprints on our Christmas tree mat. We started that tradition last year and hope that the boys can see how much they have grown over the years.
Christmas is such a wonderful time of traditions. The advent calendar also has 2 doors open now, and it is one of the boys favorite things to do after dinner. We open the door and read the scripture inside and get to eat the 2 pieces of chocolate inside. :)
We hope your holidays are full of fun family traditions; drawing us all together in a common joy.
