CHRISTMASY

This post might go unnoticed as a direct result of the New Year, but it is technically still December, so I wanted to squeeze this post in before the month ended. December was a busy month with all of the festivities and merry-making surrounding Christmas. Two of our favorite activities this year included decorating cookies with Mimi & Papa and coloring our own gingerbread play house. The former is a beloved tradition for the littles. One Saturday each December, may parents will take the kids for a few hours and help them frost, decorate, and eat a fair share of Christmas cookies. And the latter activity was a new craft that we happened upon. Michael's was selling gingerbread play houses for $10, so it seemed an obvious choice. We spent two days coloring our gingerbread house before assembling and playing with it (which, of course, I didn't photograph...). Perhaps a new tradition?
