Well, here goes a small sampling of our Christmas. We have had a wonderful season, but much of the joy of the season comes from the little light of excitement in our children's eyes, excited squeals, looks of awe, satisfied looks between Mommy and Daddy because the kids are so happy. None of these things, though, can be caught on camera.
It is nice though, to try to catch a few memories. Memories we will always cherish.
Gazing at the Christmas tree. It never gets old and we'll all be sad when we put it all away. Yet, the excitement keeps on because there is always next year!

Our Gingerbread house we made. Not too shabby for little hands.
Even better than the finished product is the fun we had working together. The laughter, the joy, the mess. It was all wonderful! We traditionally listen to the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Cambridge on Christmas Eve. This year we decorated our gingerbread house while doing. This just might become a tradition.
Happy with the results!
I think that I will buy the cookie cutters for a gingerbread house so that next year I can make my own. the kits are nice and all, but who wants to eat something that has been in a box for months? Not us! So we just look at it :) .

Christmas festivities! No explanation needed!

This gift was a hit, and is going to be enjoyed by all!
