i love christmas eve. so much excitement and so many fun traditions. we always make gingerbread cookies. there is nothing like a soft gingerbread cookie with sweet frosting. reminds me of my grandma smith. she always makes the best cookies. so it has become one of those things we cant do without.
we use my grandma walkers old cookie cutters. it makes them even more special.
these little girls were so giddy the whole day! cant you just see the excitement plastered on their faces?!
gingerbread cookies..... check.
then onto paper snowflakes.
i grew up in the mountains where it snowed every winter. im so in love with snow, its glittery and bright. it makes everything cozy and magical. playing in it, i felt like i was in a fairy world. i miss it so much. so to help that homesick feeling we cut out paper snowflakes and hang them in every room.
i help the girls fold them up and draw lines on the paper to show where to cut.
every time they would open them up, they would squeal with joy at how beautiful their creations were.
the house was decked and smelling sweet.
next up, our nativity.
