Just to let everyone know what we've done in the past week...
We made gingerbread houses, as we have done every year since the 90's. We use orange juice boxes and graham crackers... we're so sophisticated!
The one above is Nona's house... my personal favorite! ;D
This is Kamryn's beautiful house. She's so good at doing things! She's really has really seemed more grown up to me lately. She's such a sweet blessing to our family!
We also decorated gingerbred men. That's a newer tradition. One that started this year. hehee

We saw our favorite babysitter in the whole wide world from when Cason, Kimmi, and I were much younger! You can't really see her well, but that's just to keep her identity hidden... no actually that's not true. Remember, my camera got washed. hehee

We went to a live nativity yesterday with friends. It was much fun, and it was so cute because children were the actors for the nativity play. There were camels, lots of goats (I think they were supposed to be sheep, or maybe those angels were speaking to goatherds... not shepherds. heehee)
They also had a donkey which was the cutest thing ever! I want a donkey! I'm gonna name him Lester.
Daddy and Max. It seems like so many picture we have of him he's cutting his eyes like he is in this one. I think it's so cute!
My very handsome little brother, and oh so cute Jessie Carol!
Ok, so the same person who washed my camra was the photographer last night. This person forgot to turn the flash on so we don't have any very clear pictures of the actual natitvity.

We've been wrapping Christmas presants.
(and opening them...woopz-ie heh heh)
I wrapped this one myslef... TALENT!
Kimmi and I went Christmas shopping today and got our siblings presents.
That girl is crazy good at walking into a store and going straight to the best section for what she's looking for. She doesnt even tell me where she's going or what she's getting.
I would't call myself a follower of very many people, but when we walk into a big store I just follow Kimmi. Really, I do. I don't even realize I'm doing it half the time.
I love Kimmi...her strong will and all!
She's my BFF!

We have lots of sweet, and fun, Christmas traditions.
Do you and your family have any fun traditions you like to do every year?
If so, what are they? I would love to hear about them!
•••
Hope you all are all having a blessed Christmas season!
....and also, if anyone even noticed, this isn't Ten Thigs I Love Tuesdays. I love the idea, but I did it once and I sadly can't be as creative as Alyssa, and have a new ten things every week. ;D

Sounds like fun! I can't remember the last time our family made gingerbread houses... It's always to messy, and we never eat any of it. :P That's cool you went to the live nativity, we were thinking about going too, but we didn't. :/ Well, I hope your family is doing well! We miss you all!
Merry Christmas!
love ya

How fun!!! I love all the candy you put on the gingerbread houses - sweet! :) I loved the photos too!
My sister is a perfectionist about wrapping, decorating the tree, anything!!! She always freaks out if something's wrong! lol! (it can be annoying!)
Cute ginger bread houses! I made the first one our family's ever had this year! 24 (or was it 23) years of being married, and my parents never got a ginger bread house! Literally!!!!
Merry Christmas!
