Since we alternate holidays that we go back to KS for, it is tough to have Christamas day/eve traditions. We do have some that we do to prepare for the Holiday.
Decorating gingerbreads with frosting, candies, music, crafts, eggnog and hot chocolate. I would say Santa photos, but my boys were "afraid" {I tease them about that word} and did not want to sit on Santa's lap...Yes they still believe...they are questioning tho, maybe this weekend or Santa might not bring them gifts.. j/k!
Here are our Gingerbread house:
The candy trays,
Frosting guns, P.S.-All he wants for Christmas is his two front teeth,
Busy working
also busy working,
Brothers, best Friends, peas in a pod,
Finished house; gumdrop chimney, string of candy christmas lights on the roof lower edge, wreath over the door, trees out front and a candy cane shovel-thought of these ideas himself. Dad suggested using brown sprinkles for dog poo out back-Devin was not to keen on the idea, but put a few back there.
Toothless made a mint chimney, gum drop shingles, mint wreath with berries around it, side windows, a beautiful walk way, and colored sprinkles as snow.
Kendall made candy cane icicles hanging from the roof, frosting snowman, LOTS of reindeer poo, used candy canes to cover the gaps{when we opened the box, the house was broken, with my little helpers, we hot glued it back together like a puzzle}, tree out front, and lots of candy decorations!
The house are stored on top of the kitchen counters... I think this is a new tradition.
They look so festive up there!
Love Kendall's tongue sticking out. Working so hard. :o) You do so well with your kids and traditions/fun projects. I can only hope to do half as well! Love ya!
