Tradition!

The kids have the whole week off for Christmas break, which rocks because last year they only had a day or so off before Christmas.  But it really does take a whole week to get in all the traditions, fun, and shopping in before Christmas comes.

Today, we decorated graham cracker houses, one of our favorites!

Though we have done this for years, I am still learning new tricks, such as this: Don't build graham cracker houses just before lunch, or no one will be hungry for lunch.  I am going to have to pry the baby off the ceiling after this sugar high she is on to get her down for a nap!
