Tradition

When I first met Robert's girls, I was at a loss on how to entertain them, get to know them. Yes, I had kids, girls too. But how does one break the ice and try to create a relationship when you're 20 something and they're under five?

Gingerbread houses.

Now many, many, years later, our (his grown into mine) daughter shares the tradition with her son. I present Jaden's gingerbread house. (Man I didn't think of Tootsie Roll Pops as trees - COOL!)

December 4 - I just got this email from Laura, Jaden's mom: "I thought about you and the gingerbread houses the entire time Jaden and I were making the house. Thank you mom. It is a great memory. You did good with us."

What's better than this? Huh?
