Christmas Traditions

This is the first year that we haven't traveled for Christmas. Although we missed family, we had a great time together with our little family. This was a really fun year for Everett. The magic of Christmas was truly alive for him in our home. He had a blast decorating cookies and ginger bread houses and loved watching all of the classic Christmas shows. His favorites are The Polar Express, The Santa Clause, and A Christmas Story. It's really fun to experience Christmas through a child's eye again. I love my boys and all the joy they bring to my life.

Here are my boys after the we put up the tree and decorations. Everett enjoyed hours of fun with the train.

Ginger bread houses are always a hit. Each day Everett would steal some candy from his house, by the time Christmas came around the house was nearly candy-free.

Good times making cookies for santa.
