Oh Christmas Tree, Poor Christmas Tree


What a sad tree. This is our "fun" tree with all the family ornaments. From handprints to handmade, this tree holds all the memories. Unfortunately, our overgrown kitten, Phantom, thought we called it the "fun" tree for a different reason. She's had a lot of fun lately knocking all the ornaments off and draping herself with garland as she pulls down all the decorations. Looks like she's had a good time. The kids laugh at the mess. I try not to think about it. At least this hasn't happened to the "nice" tree . . . yet.





Here is another one of our favorite Christmas traditions--gingerbread houses! And yes, I made the gingerbread myself; no graham crackers here. Ah, what good times. Happy eating!




Umm, candy. Look at all that concentration. Come on Christmas, we're ready!

What a fun tradition! I really need to do that next year. However, I need to take baby steps. No homemade gingerbread for this girl. I am more of Costco kit kind of gal. :)

Now all you need is the volcano for your village. Ah, the memories.

Gingerbread kits are pretty convenient. And to add to the convenience, hot glue the house together! Maybe homemade gingerbread is edible, but the kit stuff isn't, so the hot glue takes the hour out of holding the house together while the crappy kit frosting dries.

I hope you had a merry Christmas! We did!
