Every Christmas the girls look forward to making a gingerbread house with my mom. They also enjoy baking cookies and decorating them. My mom and the girls spend hours of tedious work to make the gingerbread house just perfect. They also spend a lot of time decorating each cookie. It is something that they look forward to every year. This year the Carpenters were in Americus for a few days and Ashley and Katelyn were inseperable. Ashley got to help out with the gingerbread house and that just made it even more fun for Katelyn. She adores her cousin!! One of my favorite things about the holidays are the rich traditions that surround it. Now that I have three of my own, it's important to establish those traditions and enjoy every second of them!!
