Christmas at the Bernard's

Every year I always mean to keep up with what we do during December but it never works. December is always SO busy for us, I can't believe I have a minute to blog about it before Christmas this year. Hey, I did better than last year, I did do a blog about our tree. This year has been extra magical with Lincoln in our house. I can't imagine how much more magical it will be once he knows what is going on! We have really tried to start some new traditions this year and it has been so much fun!

This year our new traditions were cutting down our own tree & the gingerbread village in Seattle. These are both traditions we will be keeping for many years to come! Although we had a HUGE tree this year and it was a pain because my dogs thought it was a jungle gym 😱, we still want to cut down a tree every year. It just seemed to make the tree even more special than normal. 

Dressing up and taking pictures of Lincoln has been SO fun! & Santa was great! Let's see how he feels about him next year

& of course as always baking, lots & lots of baking with a little gingerbread house decorating in there

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas & can remember what the true meaning is, the birth of our Savior. I have pondered on this much more than I ever have this year and have tried to make our Christmas season much more centered on Christ.
