Sledding, Sledding & More Sledding

"Sledding, hot cocoa, and baking cookies while the snow falls makes for warm holiday cheer!" ~Mama Hen

Little Chick and I can't wait for the snow to fall each year. The excitement of sledding fun gets us all giddy and full of smiles! We had our first snow fall in the beginning of the week and are now in the middle of a really good snow storm. Little Chick and I went sledding a couple of times today. We love to go at night. Little Chick had fun this week sledding with her friends too. Our back yard is made for sledding fun! She also loved going to see the Nutcracker with friends on Thursday. We also have been having a great time making cookies, apple sauce cinnamon ornaments and fun holiday crafts. We love this time of the year!

Christmas Fun and Making Ornaments

"The warmth of Christmas begins in the togetherness of family and friends."
~Mama Hen

Little Chick and I have many Christmas traditions. The first one is that we love making ornaments for our Christmas trees and others. Ever since I have had my own Christmas tree I knew that it would be my tradition to only have homemade ornaments on my tree. Little Chick now helps me with making more and more beautiful ornaments each year for our trees. It is a special time and we love making them with Grandma Hen and our friend Geri. We had a fun pj party with Geri and loved making ornaments and watching Christmas movies. It has been a time for being together and creating.

Gingerbread Houses

"Holiday traditions keep the memories alive and the heart filled with joy!"
~Mama Hen

 

Little Chick and I have many holiday traditions. The one that always gets the Christmas spirit going is making gingerbread houses with Grandma Hen, Auntie and Little Chick's cousin. We have been doing this since Little Chick was two years old. This year we decided to put on some German Christmas music and make authentic gingerbread houses. We had lots of fun!
