Since brian always works on the friday after Thanksgiving I started a tradition with my mom a few years ago. We basically set aside the day for getting into the Christmas spirit. We stay in our jammies all day, decorate the house, listen to christmas music, bake, eat and relax. Every year we make gingerbread houses, and of course this activity is a huge hit with my sugar loving girls.
by the way, if you are wanting to make gingerbread houses with young children i highly recommend the kit from costco. the house comes assembled so it’s much easier for those of us who are a little challenged in the structural department.
Oh my!!!! What a fun day! And what a wonderful tradition with Mimi! Such joy and love surrounds all you beautiful girls. Mimi is such a good example of how to make a house a “home” – filled with the smells and sights of comfort and celebration. Finley and Adalaide looked so cute in their pj’s – and boy were they enjoying that frosting
You all never cease to amaze me- the best moms ever!
LOVE that you are going to send us a Christmas card! I totally feel the same about you guys. I’m always asking Hill about you and wishing that we could get all of our kids together. They’d have so much fun, we would have so much fun.
