Another Tradition...

The Slide show below is from Sunday night! We had our Annual Gingerbread House decorating and Sound of Music Sing-a-long! This is definitely one of my fav traditions! We all decorate gingerbread houses while we watch "Sound of Music"! We don't just watch. We sing. At the top of our lungs. Even Micah. Everyone has their special parts they like to sing the best ( I of course love them all) Since Kimmy has joined the family though ( I can't believe she still did after witnessing this tradition) I must say I love when she sings "How do you solve a problem like Marissa", the song my mom used to sing to me when i was little! :) Everyone did a wonderful job on their houses...(I tried to post everyones, but the slider was getting mad at me) We usually vote on who's is the best but everyone got sick of me winning so they stopped that!! And we even got to celebrate Aunt Kathy's 29th b-day! We had a blast! I love my Family and that we still do all our crazy traditions! Thanks to my Mom who has brought so much fun and memories to our family!! :) Enjoy the show....

*Christmas Boat Parade *

It's tradition to go to Balboa and watch the boat parade! It's so fun to see all the boats and gorgeous homes decorated! My mom always brings Hot Cocoa and donuts and we get all our warm cozy gear on and stroll down the boardwalk! It's one of those things that really gets you in the Holiday spirit!
My sweet little family! :)

Ceej and I didn't even plan this! She said it matches us perfect...because she has white hair (platinum blond, same thing) and I have brown! Aren't we just the cutest?

The two little Braithwaite men! Ben was not into picture taking at the moment:)

My kids really do love each other...most of the time!

Cashel and Tio Alfredo! She is so excited they are here for Christmas!
