I suppose I should start with a very exciting, yet painfully obvious fact - the Christmas Season is in full swing - how could I not make special mention of my absolute favorite time of year?Ah yes, every mall is a heinous circus production, every Starbucks is lined up with holiday consumers, needing their cinnamon latte fix and most every home in Saskatoon glistens with sparkling twinkle lights and cedar roping around the front door. Weren't we just here?
And though Christmas faithfully brings out a certain nostalgic feeling in me from year to year, I owe it all to my love for family tradition and the warmth that hugs my heart each holiday season.
So, let old traditions continue and new ones begin. This past week has been no exception. It started off with a very fun and entertaining afternoon with the munchkins. We attempted our first (of many to come) gingerbread houses. Let me just gush for a minute about my ever-favorite role as an auntie. I could go on for hours. For every very precisely placed gumdrop stuck on the white icing-lined rooftop by one girl, there was an equally enthusiastically placed jube-jube in the mouth of the other. I'll leave the assumptions as to who did what with you. *grin* A terribly priceless afternoon.*

Very cute, Cyndy! Looks like you guys had a great time. I did the same with my boys and a gingerbread train but unfortunately it didn't work for their auntie to be a part of it! Too bad. Maybe another year. Be very thankful you and Mel live so close together right now. It is definitely not to be taken for granted! Anyway, take care and hang in there...
