Family Traditions, Do You Have Them?

In the next couple of days I'm going to share a couple of Christmas Traditions we have. No stamping, but still important.
Every year (I've only missed one year, when my Mom was sick), I get together with my two BESTEST FRIENDS (Hi Cindy & Lynne) the week-end before Thanksgiving (also before the craziness begins) and we make gingerbread houses. We've been doing this for over 30 years now. We started out making the gingerbread houses ourselves, you know from scratch.  Lets just say that now we buy the houses already made and decorate them. What I love is now my grandkids are now making their own houses. Take a look:

We ALL bring candy to share. (That isn't even all of it). Tip: Put your candy in cupcake tins.

Anthony loves to line anything up.

See how clean it is......not for long.

Still clean......

This is the beginning of Lynne's house.

 Thanks for letting me share this tradition with you. I will share another one tomorrow.
