Following the Redford Family Tradition!

One of Eric's favorite Family Christmas Traditions was making Candy Trains. So we try to do it every year as one of our traditions. The kids are at the perfect age to do fun activities...especially when they involve candy! They love it! It was our family home evening activity for this week! We are doing so well. Family night every week this month! That is a first for us. Our friend Jimmy came over with his two boys and joined the fun!

Eric making the special frosting!

The kids helping...Easton was was looking hard for more candy!

The train in progress...Brooklyn loved making the "mound" of gobsters in the middle. It turned out cute, I think. Eric wasn't too satisfied because I forgot to get certain candy..like peppermints for the wheels. Oops. Next year he will do the shopping and they will turn out better!

Now the kids are being tortured because Eric said they can't eat any until Christmas morning! So now it sits on top of the fridge!

It was a fun activity!
