Christmas Traditions

I have said it before, but children make Christmas so special and joyful!
Thank you Elle for filling our holidays with wonder and magic.

Elle loves to put my spare change in the bucket and they often let her ring the bell.

Helping Daddy close up the attic for winter. What a great helper. I know he could see so much better thanks to her aim with the flashlight ; )

Elle and Norah made gingerbread houses

Putting out the nativity set. We discussed Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus and Elle said, "[when] I was a baby, I was like baby Jesus and Mommy, you were like Mary and Daddy was like Joseph."
