This Christmas we had several fun activities, I'll share some highlights from our Christmas week of fun! This year we put together our first gingerbread house. The kids were more than excited to do this. We had wrapped it, and put it under the tree, because it was a special family present to do together. The kids got to open it on Christmas Eve, while we were snowed in. The kids ate a lot of the candy before it made it onto the gingerbread house, oh, and Ian kept eating the frosting out of the bag so we kind of ran out of frosting, but none the less, we thought it was a great looking house. The kids were very proud! The week of Christmas we went down to Bricktown to admire all the festive decorations, and to eat with friends. We even watched as people went down on tubes on the man made snow hill. The kids got to pet the horses down town, these are the horses used for the carriage rides. It was a special time as a family.
Christmas week was full of cooking of course, so the kids got in on the fun. They always want to help me cook, so I let them. They got to make, and bake their very own sugar cookies this year. At the end Ian had green hands from the sprinkles, and they both had tasted some icing. They were really proud of their cookies. Such cute cooks!
Christmas Eve, before the blizzard we headed out for our annual light show. To us this means, getting hot chocolate for the kids, and Starbucks for mommy and daddy, and head to look at Christmas lights. We found some really good ones this year. The kids were so amazed and wanted to touch them all. It is amazing how they get all those lights so perfect. We had such a great Christmas week, one we won't forget. New traditions, and old ones alike!
More to come......
