Growing up my parents made CHRISTMAS so much fun. My mom was wonderful at doing projects with us and my parents always enjoyed cozying up with us and watching Christmas movies. This past week we started up our traditions in our small little family. We painted some Christmas ornmanents, decorated our tree, put Christmas lights up outside our house and all over the inside of our house, we made Christmas cookies for our Youth Group party, and we did our yearly ginger bread house...but this year we did a ginger bread train:) I have boughten a kit the last couple years but next year I will probably have to do it from scratch since we will be adding one more kid to the mix! We have had so much fun! Every night we have been reading this book called, J is for Jesus. It is a little Christian story about the candy cane. Logan almost has it memorized. In fact if you ask him..."Logan, Jesus was born on Christmas and later died on the cross...then what did he do? He will say, " He rose again and he is a ive." Such a special time in a child's life. They are soaking so much in at this age!! We just keep feeding him Jesus:)
Everynight last week at 7pm Logan and I turned a Christmas movie on and cuddled and drank peppermint hot cocoa....Logan JUST LOVES THIS! And I do too. I enjoy being a mommy so much!!

I love starting new Christmas traditions. This year, we made the Christmas cookies,a tradition we started last year. And we started a new tradition this year. We took a walk around our neighborhood after dinner to look at Christmas lights, and when we got back to our house, we had hot cocoa with marshmallows rolled in a powdered sugar glaze and crushed candy cane. It was lots of fun. I'm glad that you guys are having such a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas. :)
oh fun...we are yet to do that with Jason:) But we did make it to a neat park that was FULL of light pictures everywhere. TONS OF FUN! We are hoping to head to the zoo for the zoo lights this friday:) FUN time year!
Lots of fun things to do! What fun!
Where is that park with the lights?Is it around here?
