Traditions

Our Christmas season begins Thanksgiving night.  After we are full from turkey, we build and decorate a Gingerbread house!  It is a favorite time for the girls:)




Then, it begins.....Christmas music, shopping, decorating, and baking.
We go to a tree farm and chop our tree, carry it home, put it p and decorate it together as a family:)







Most of our Christmas stuff is in Alabama...so, this year, I decided to make something for our front door----instead of the typical wreath!


...it took 15minutes, 6 sheets of card stock paper, staples, tape and a ribbon!  very easy:)




Then, we spend the next days preparing gifts, baking cookies, and driving around to see the beautiful lights!




Oh, there are now only 13 days until Christmas........and already gifts are arriving under the tree:)
