Family Tradition

Our family has lots of traditions. We get our Christmas tree the same time every year. The kids always have hot cocoa with whipped cream after a day of playing in the snow. We always go out to dinner for someone's birthday. We ALWAYS frost Christmas cookies as a family...Daddy included. Once a year, mommy sets aside her compulsive neatness for several hours while the kids and daddy go crazy with the frosting and sprinkles. They all look forward to this all year long, and this year was no exception. We tried to include Tessa as much as possible, but she just didn't understand that the frosting goes on the cookie, and not in her mouth! The rest however, enjoyed the decorating.....and we can't wait to eat them!
