Making memories with my children is important to me. For most of our Christmas celebrations, my children have decorated gingerbread houses. This year only my youngest wanted to make one, and it warmed my heart to watch him make his gingerbread house without any assistance. His technique has improved since last year, and last year I was helping him. He is growing up fast, and I am happy he wanted to continue this tradition. Enjoy these moments in your children’s lives.
We are moving to the kitchen this week for our zone missions. Let’s get our kitchens ready for the Holidays and our Holiday baking and memory making. Each of these missions is designed to take 15 minutes or less. Please resist the temptation to dump things out and sort. Pace yourself.
