Each gift also is accompanied with a spiritual thought or scripture to read.
The kids take turns each night opening the gift and sharing it with their siblings.
It creates a special feeling in our home as we read the message and share in the spirit of the season.
Here are a couple of our family's activities.
All the kids decorating snowmen cookies.
Sawyer decided he didn't want any more help from daddy.
Here's the kids and their finished cookies.
Another night we made chocolate dipped pretzels to pass out to neighbors.
The kids all had a blast helping out with the decorating.
Ty and I dipped them while Dawson, Mackenzie and Sawyer decorated them.
Xander watched and goofed off and volunteered to taste them.
When the chocolate was cooled, Kenzie packaged them up.
The kids did a great job and they all got along. That was an added bonus for mommy.
As part of our tradition we always make ginger bread houses. The kids love this day!
They love the candy overload. They love creating their perfect houses and covering it in as much icing and candy as possible. It's a sugar heaven.
Anxiously waiting.
The candy stash.
Dawson hard at work on his house.
She is so focused.
Now that's a beautiful house.
Xander's creation.
Complete with a candy snowman.
Sawyer ate more candy then he put on his house.
The finished houses.

What kind of pens are they using to decorate the snowmen?
Love how creative they are with all their projects. Is Sawyer a lefty?
Like the pic of Kenz and her scarf. Did she like it?
They are cookie decorating pens. Basically food coloring markers.
Sawyer writes with both hands. He does favor his right, but he uses his left a lot too.
Kenzie loved her scarf. she's worn it a couple times already. And she's asked for more in other colors.
