One tradition we've been doing as long as I can remember (in my California life) is tree-trimming. Nana & Papa host dinner every year and all the girls from "babe night" as Mike so lovingly called it (it was a discipleship group that Michele held Tuesday nights at their house) come home to Southern California. There were several girls in the study and most of us come every year even though we live all over the country (well, not ALL over the country, but pretty far away). This year a few of us got together to visit Huntington Gardens with the kids. It was Beautiful!
I wanted this photo to look like an old 1970's photo- did it work? It reminds me of the photos from my childhood. These are *some* of our children- they all played so well together.
Every year we buy the gingerbread house kits & every year I want to pull my hair our because the icing is SO hard to work with and it's just more trouble than it's worth. SO this year I found this little life-saver. Rice Krispie Treats holiday house kit. WAY yummier than the nasty gingerbread house and WAY easier to make.
