Christmas Traditions

Every year my mom and I get together to bake Christmas cookies and treats. This year since my sister recently relocated to the area we baked at her house. Heres Huey, Dewey and Louie. Or Noah, Matt and Chris frosting some sugar cookies.Here's my sister rolling lots of peanut butter balls, its so great to have her live close with her kids for the first time ever!
Katie, Kelsey and Grandma. Altogether we made, cookie blosoms, fudge, 7 layer cookies, sugar cookies and we even tired truffles this year.
Every year we get together with our friends the Tippetts to make gingerbread houses. Out of grahram crakers of course. This year our friends the Modliars also came we all had so much fun!
The twins loved decorating their own house this year. All the kids loved eating all the yummy, variety of candy.
Here's the big girls, Bridgette, Kelsey, Sydney and Alohi. They were the last ones decorating, taking their time to make their houses just right. I love our Christmas traditions. Its what makes Christmas special and creates memories.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
