One of my favorite traditions during Christmastime is building gingerbread houses.
I think what I like the most about this activity is that we are together as a family.
It is actually magical.
These are the moments I hope the children remember.
Brookie was particularly into it. Mostly eating the candy.
The boys tediously worked on theirs.
They are both perfectionists.
Our handiwork.
What a fun night!

Another fun and meaningful tradition we have is the reenactment of the Nativity.
We were so glad to have the Friels and Penny over and we had a great night together.
I was especially grateful for the reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.
The children were children and were a little wild but
I hope they remember that Christmas is about our Savior.
The two year-olds were not interested in being part of it.
They thought jumping on the couch was more fun!
Then, the kids put a little show for us.
They sang Christmas songs and danced around!
Cutest kids ever!
So grateful for these wonderful people in my life.

On Christmas Eve, we decided to make tamales with my mom and the kids. Sadly, Scott had to work.
The tamales turned out delicious and at the end of the night Brielle, Braden and Brooke had a little program planned out. Brielle and Braden wrote their feeling about Christmas and Brooke sang Jingle Bells.
I think there was a common theme: "Christmas is about Jesus, not the presents!" :)
My kiddos on Christmas Eve in their new jammies.
These three little people make this time of the year so magical.
