Gingerbread Houses and special moments

Finished Houses. Some of which didn't even make it home they were eaten in the car.

We love to make ginger bread houses every year the day after Thanksgiving. We have been doing this as long as I can remember. Our cousins even joined us a time or two when we were younger. I have to say that I am so thrilled that my boys are still excited about making them.

I am a very lucky mom because my kids love to hang out with mom and dad and they and their friends like to hang out with our family too. I will hold on to every little tradition I can as long as they will humor me. I am very grateful to have such sweet and tenderhearthed kids who don't act like they are to cool for making gingerbread houses, give a F.H.E. lesson, go to the Nutcracker ballet, go to a girly movie with the family (Enchanted) and admit that they liked it, play games or do activities that their little sister and brother picked and even read book with them in bed. I hope you all have these special moments with your children. This year let's all try to make even more opportunities for special moments in our families. (Don't get me wrong; there are days they are all banned to their own rooms. Ironically when we seperate them they only want to be with each other more. Go figure.)
