Yes, we do.

We watch the Olympic Opening Ceremonies!

First came the ideas...

Brett remembers when he was young, growing up in Utah, and his dad would build igloos in the snow, with a large bucket. I witnessed one of these igloos and they are truly amazing, and so much fun! I could imagine how fun a 10 year old boy would have with an igloo in the snow. I think he may have even slept in it at least one year. Well, his gingerbread house was inspired, and instead of using the graham crackers, he used marshmallows and built an igloo. Then the sleigh, then the horse stable, then the pond and the snowman and Christmas tree. It's a darling decoration for our house. Nix asked me if he could eat Daddy's candy!

Nix on the other hand ended up having a hand crash land into it and the whole house fell down, Tino ate all the marshmallows off of it and Nix ate all the candy. NICE! They had a great time. Making candy houses is a yearly tradition for us. The adults have as much fun as the kids doing it, if not more!

Baby Tradition

Nix and Ro both get the "Hold on for Dear Life" Treatment when they are babies. They are so strong. They hold on until they can't do it anymore then the fall and hang by the ankles for a second until we lay them down on the couch or bed. Either way they are hanging upside down and they really don't mind it. I love it!
