St Lucia Day

St Lucia day is a huge highlight at our house...

it ranks right up there with Christmas morning!

We celebrate with a big breakfast in bed...

we have been doing this since Elsie was little tiny!

The girls each wore their Lucia crowns and 

James was supposed to wear his Star Boy hat...

but instead he wanted to just 

lay on the floor and eat his 

breakfast like a dog...

not sure why, but it made him happy!

We always decorate the room with plenty of candles...

and the St Lucia statue...

such fun and special memories being created...

We also decorate gingerbread houses every year on
St. Lucia day...
Usually this is a Daddy project...
but this year daddy was away at work.

We also turned sugar cones upside down and 

decorated a whole forest of trees for our 

gingerbread house...

the kids had SO much fun and 

created a huge sticky mess in the process!

By the time we got done with all the 

decorating,

bath time was in order!

Love all the special little things are involved in 

the Christmas season...

so many memories...

and so fun now that the kids are old enough

to talk about all the Christmas memories from past years...

All these cozy feelings are priceless.
