just a blur

This month is becoming just a blur.  We have some great family traditions that now the kids hold me to.  For instance, our weekly dinners- not original- but special to my fam- taco Tuesday; we always have homemade pizza on Fridays; Sunday morning we have something special for breakfast like coffee cake and turkey bacon and oj- when I started getting a bit tired of doing it- my 10 y.o. daughter has now taken over.  Well, one thing we do in December is make homemade gingerbread houses.  I won't lie- it's a pain to roll and cut by hand 8 - yes, 8 houses- so they each get to decorate they're own- but it was so worth it and I'm happy it's a tradition in our home.  Got the ideas, recipes and templates from Chocolate on my Cranium blog.
