Baking Christmas.

what is your favorite christmas tradition? 

one of mine is baking christmas treats. 

one of my favorite christmas treats are sugar cookies. 

it's a process, but that's why i love doing it around the holidays because it's an evening event.

we turn on a christmas movie and bake. 

we did it every year with my mom and now we do it. 

carrying on the tradition. 

it's fun when your married because you can choose which christmas traditions you want to keep or can

mr. 's work of art ^^...the most amazing snowman you ever did see! 

so funny.

it's just sooooo funny how serious he takes "decorating"

he doesn't take home decor seriously AT ALL 

he could care less about what curtains i put up 

howevvvvver he loves his cookie decorating ...

i decorated mine with classic green frosting & white sprinkles 

he said my cookies made him .... (he started to snore)

he started to snore! "zzzzzzzzzzzzz"

he said they were a snooze fest

he said mine were so boring they were putting him to sleep

whoa, calm down cookie critique man!!

gosh i love it when i'm not the only crazy one in the relationship.

building a gingerbread house with mr. is another story. 

he wanted to buy his very own house like last year, however i thought it would be wise to save money and share/decorate one together. 

we invited our friends over to join in on the fun tradition.

they were a little shocked with andrew's passion for gingerbread houses. 

we have a tradition of making sugar cookies and gingerbread houses.
we did them on two different nights, but figured they were meant to be all on one post.
we turned on christmas vacation while we built our houses.
AND
we turned on santa clause while we baked cookies. (oh and speaking of cookies, here is the recipe)
last year we collected a bunch of our favorite holiday movies.
we have just about every one in christmas history. well not that many, but it's close.

hope you all have a wonderful christmas eve eve.
