Cote,Brexton and Nixin visiting Santa!
Of course we have our long standing Gingerbread House tradition. The kids love it more each year. Nixin was very determined this year. She knew exactly what she wanted to do.
Cote is a pro by now but you can see he still enjoys it.
Brexton was very excited to do a train this year. He told me it was his most favorite ever!
Job well done!
Today we did Christmas cookies. Nixin enjoyed cutting out and decorating her cookies. She made the star below for her G-Mama. Like I said, if sprinkles are an indication of love then.....I am loved!
Cote and Brexton decorated theirs when they came home from school. Cote was excited to eat his cookies and Brexton was excited to decorate and eat his cookies.
Brexton made this star for me.....notice the number of sprinkles on mine? Luv it!
It is important to have family traditions. Life can sometimes be hard and throw us a curve. We experience joys and sorrows within our families. Traditions are constants in our lives. During our hard times we can participate in our family traditions and we can also remember and reflect on the joy we experienced being together and the love we have for each other. I'm thankful that my parents started many family traditions like these that we are still participating in today!
