This Christmas I really wanted to start some traditions for our little family. I thought we would try out decorating a gingerbread house the week before Christmas. It was really fun and Mia LOVED it most of all. I should start out by saying Mia has a serious sweet tooth. When she wakes up in the morning she says "Breakfast! Chocolate!". When she wants a snack she says, "Crackers! Chocolate! Candy!". It was challenging to get her to put the candy on the house at first but she finally got the hang of it and did a great job decorating. She called it ginger and every few minutes from the time we finished it until I threw it away Christmas Eve (I had all I could take) she screamed to have her ginger placed on the ground where she could eat the candy off it. She still asks for it sometimes. I think we will make it a tradition and I just pray she gets over the "ginger" obsession next year.
