We got to decorate gingerbread houses this year with one of our favorite families! These weren't just any ordinary houses, they withstood lots of moving and playing around with for weeks after. They even had little garages with cars and every fun candy you can think of. 
And we were lucky enough to have x-mas eve at our house. Everyone did something for our program and it was so fun. Time will tell if we jumpstarted a tradition. I didn't get pictures of everyone but here is Trisch playing the flute, G&G singing to us - this was a major highlight for the kids, and we even had rudolph visit and sing to us. Ray put together a fun game of guessing what x-mas movie different audio clips were from. I attempted to play the guitar while the kids shook bells and everyone sang Joy to the world, it's just a good thing for me we're all family and there was no judges panel!
Santa's note, he got eggnog this year - yum!

I think they all had a good Christmas morning...

And lucky for us we got to see Grandma Great the next week. She's an amazing woman who always brings the best spirit with her. We have fabulous memories of Grandma and it's so heart warming to see Kate love and adore her as much as I do. She is 92 and loved carrying Lily around, always gets down on the floor to play games with the kids and never misses out on the card games, it was a great way to spend New Years Eve.
And with all this snow we had we did manage to get in some sledding, I should say "they" managed to get in sledding, Lily and I snuggled on the couch for 2 hours while I finished a book for the first time in months!

Wow that's quite the Christmas update Krissy. Looks like you had some great times.
Apparently testing the proper consistency of the chocolatey glue for the mallow-men involves tasting it at some point right?
That was quite the constuction site for the ginger bread houses. I've never seen them complete with detached garages before.
We did a bit of sledding up here as well. No quads involved though.
Lily is SO cute!
Awesome post. So many great pictures. Sure looks like you all had a great time!!!! All your kids have such cute smiles!
WOW! I hope I can be like your grandma great when I'm 92! That's amazing! I had super awesome grandparents too, we are blessed to have them. Now I get to be one!! Whitney is due in 7 weeks!!!! See you at the shower tonight!
You always make so much fun for your family with your cute ideas and fun traditions.
I'm still trying to figure out what your parents are doing in that photo.
Is Lily really old enough to be sitting up?
Looks like you guys had a good time. Your kids are soooo cute. I hear there is a big group going to Big Sky for continued Ed. Are you guys going? If so, We'll see you there! Take care!
Hey you cute Hardy's. Looks like your having fun down there. Lily sure is getting big, but still small. Jack we are glad you liked your Christmas presents. We think of you guys often.
Hey Krissy I don't think I knew you played the flute. Pretty nifty!
