Christmas Fun

Here are a few of the highlights of our December...

Decorating the Tree

Our tradition is that the kids get a new ornament every year. The big reveal comes the nite we decorate the tree. Jordan and Courtney both got electric guitars (black and pink to match their own), and Alyssa got a tennis racket.

Christmas Eve

The past couple of years, we've saved our gingerbread houses for Christmas Eve. The kids like it because it gives them something fun to look forward to on a day that otherwise passes pretty slowly. Mom likes it because the houses aren't taking up a kitchen counter for quite as long.

Christmas Day

Long story short, it was a good day.

...and happily posing with his new phone.

Jason got the new drill he wanted.

Merry Christmas!

Gingerbread houses Christmas Eve day....hmm...what a great idea! I always feel like a scrooge when I wish they weren't taking up space. =)
