It's one of my favourite times of the year!
We are all finished with work and school and Christmas family time has started. It's a busy time around our house, since we are not quite finished with all of the wrapping and our cards just went into the mail a few days ago! But amidst the bustle of activity, we always take time to be together.
Making a gingerbread house with Daddy is a Christmas tradition, and the kids do more of the work each year. Cookie baking is another annual event. While I do the more precise work after the kids are in bed, decorating gingerbread cookies is the kids' task.
The kids are happy that my mom is visiting for the holidays. While she doesn't necessarily know the rules to the games they want to play, since they have often made up their own, she is a good sport and plays along regardless. Watching them interact is as much fun as watching as any holiday movie - something else they do together.
Being outdoors is another fun winter activity, and the kids are thrilled that there has been so much snow this year. Our yard is one of their favourite places, and despite the lack of slope, they love to take out the sled and have sled rides. It's only a few days until Christmas, and we're all looking forward to spending it together.
