Christmas Traditions

I LOVE Christmas and all the fun family traditions. Here are a few of our FAVORITE traditions.
(Our lovely dancing santa, better know as grandma hips to some people:)

It's not Christmas without making a gingerbread train, or house.

Our all time favorite tradition we have been doing the last 3 years is this special little Elf we named Orchard.

ELF ON THE SHELF. Here are a few of his daily hiding spots. Yes he is moved everyday and Ivorie LOVES to look for his new spot. She eats so much better when she knows "ORCHARD" the elf is watching her.

I just love the holidays. What is some of your family Christmas traditions?
