The 12 Days of Christmas

When I saw My best friend's sister's blog (Hillary) I fell in love with the idea of doing family activities for the 12 days of Christmas leading to Christmas Day. So we started our tradition yesterday (we started late but we were out of town the other days) by making a gingerbread house as a fam! Brighton thought it was the coolest thing and wanted to make another one today, but we moved on to putting the stockings up. Here are a few pics from the fun event. Brighton actually did a good job putting all the candy on and was ecstatic about the entire thing as you can see by the grin on her face! Here's the process...

And the end result...

The whole fam together with our finished product!

And for the most part, this is what Porter was doing the whole time. He's been a better baby since the surgery as you can see.

We'll update you on the rest of our days of Christmas as they come!
