Festivities

I love Christmas! One of the things I love is all of the fun family time. This week we've had some fun times with family.
Nate's family has a tradition of making marshmallow castles instead of gingerbread houses. So this year we made one with the kids. It was actually great, a lot cheaper than a gingerbread house and the kids loved sticking on the marshmallows with frosting.
This year for Christmas gifts, Nate's parents took the whole family to the church cannery and let us spend $ on food storage. It was actually really fun! (Not that I didn't expect it to be, but it was REALLY fun!) Plus we've got our food storage stocked up. What a great Christmas gift! Thanks Mom & Dad!

That is a great idea to go to the cannery! Food storage is what I asked for for Christmas. I love your family picture, by the way. SO cute!
