Last year was our first year of the ladies getting together and making cookies and pierogi.
My in laws serve a traditional polish dinner on Christmas Eve. of mushroom pierogi in cream of mushroom soup. My mother in law always made the pierogi herself but, last year decided to have a few extra hands.
It was a lot of fun and we decided that a good ole girls day making cookies and pierogi was new tradition. And, since it has happened two years in a row now, I can say it is tradition... right? :)
Here are a couple of pictures... my pocket camera is really taking some crummy pictures but I do so hate to lug my big one around everywhere.. sorry about the quality

Our Happy little helpers!
Anna was the "kitchen manager" We got a kick out of
how take charge she was in the cookie making
She didn't stop once!

We figured out why Anna wanted to be in charge..... YUM

Our lunch break... Subway subs!
Anna back to work !
Their favorite.. sugar cookies.
My niece wanted a gingerbread girl... so I made her one LOL
Here is my niece Sophie helping <3 p="p">
A newer tradition in our immediate family is doing something.. Oh I don't know the word to describe it..
But, the last couple years we have gone to local tree lightings or the like.
This year we went to a nearby town (about an hour or so away) named Holly.
Holly we had heard really did Christmas and it was all free.. So we took off to see what we could see.
The town was decorated all cute like. It is called the "Dickens Festival" so you can
imagine how people were dressed and the decor.
It was really cute and the day was perfect.. about 50 degrees which, is warm for here this time of
year...
This was us venturing out!
They had milk and cookies and crafts for the kids!
Abby and daddy while the kids were sledding.
these were carolers.. Oh they sounded so beautiful.
I meant to take a front picture but forgot.
They imported snow from a different part of the state.
This was free and the kids LOVED it.
It went FAST... like REAL fast!
The kids watching the play. I didn't stay for the play. I took this opportunity to enjoy
all the little shops.
The streets were closed off... this was Gabe taking Abby to check out a
window display!
