Christmas Traditions


This year we tried something different. We usually make a gingerbread house, but this year we made a gingerbread train. I probably would never have made the switch if my mother hadn't bought us the kit to make ourselves. Although, I have to say, it was nice not having to make the icing myself. This year our kit came with a pouch of icing, rather then the powdery stuff you have to mix with water. That stuff takes forever to clean off your dishes. It's like glue. We did end up doing a house too, I had already purchased one from Rite Aid on sale. It was a nice change.
As you can see, this girl was having a ton of fun...or maybe it was the sugar high.


Her expressions are priceless.

How could you do Christmas without an advent calendar...or three?!
