One tradition that we started last Christmas was that we put together a gingerbread something...last year we made a house and this year we made a train. It is really a lot of fun if you haven't tried it. I have not gotten brave enough to make my own gingerbread yet - we stick with the premade kits...but it is fun all the same. Cole has been waiting to do this project for days....asking, begging and pleading...and finally we had time to sit down together and do it. Last year, when we were new at this, our house looked awful but this year we did rather well if I do say so myself. And we all did it together which was the main thing...and we all had a lot of fun. At one point we did catch Cole placing a candy on the train while also placing a candy in his mouth (well, a couple of times actually). We had to explain that if he ate all of the candy we wouldn't have any decorations. He gladly got back to decorating but kept asking when we could eat the whole train! Gotta love his persistance!
