I love a good tradition and as the kids get older we are finally feeling like certain things are traditions for our family. One of those being building a gingerbread house. Lately things between Cole and Lily Kate have been....rather territorial. Lily wants everything Cole has and that was ok with him for a while but now he is tired of it and fights back. Thinking that this project might take a turn for the worse I went ahead and bought 2 gingerbread house kits. Brilliant idea! It was really fun and we made it a "girls vs boys" kind of thing. The kids loved having their own houses to decorate and one on one time with a parent. Lily was so silly about it....and ate half of the candy in our packet. Cole was having fun but was a bit more serious and only ate 1 gumball so that he would have enough candy to decorate the whole house. Such a great example of their personalities. The kids still look at the houses everyday and have fun talking about them. Rhonald and I had so much fun working with them as well...drinking egg nog and singing along with Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas album. You really have to love a good family tradition!
