St. Lucia Day

I am trying to keep up on all of the holiday traditions that I've started. I sometimes wonder, what was I thinking.

Rio and Hallah made us some cinnamon buns for our Swedish St Lucia Day. They were delicious! They love this tradition. ( We even found a wreath for Hallahs doll at hospice.) If you look closely you can see the candles in their wreaths. They dont wear these wreaths long because they are so itchy.

Enjoying traditions

Peace and love,

Gingerbread Houses

Tis the season

for our traditional gingerbread house making.

We upgraded to stained glass windows this year.

I cut out a new shape this year, the kids were very resistant. They like tradition.

Hallah even made a river with a bridge flowing thru the backyard.

This should be a requirement for Christmas holiday team building. I used to let the kids go wild, anything goes. But in my wisdom, I've decided it's too much work to have a shoddy lookin' shack. So now I make them plan it out a bit.

Just as much gets eaten as goes onto the house!

Enjoying Christmas time!

Peace,

Sonya
