I was thinking about my little family holiday traditions. Since I have gotten married and had children my traditions have changed since growing up in my families household. There are a few traditions that I have carried over from my upbringing and new ones that I have created. Ever since Luke was born four years ago I have played the movie "The Polar Express" while putting up the christmas tree. That is what Luke remembers and asks for every year. I also love filling the stocking for my boys on Christmas. Also as a family we really enjoy being at home as a family of four to open our gifts. It is important to Jeremy to stay home Christmas morning and to experience the boys opening their gifts from us. Jeremy works so hard for his money and he deserves that home and joyous experience. We have also enjoyed making gingerbread houses with Jeremy's mom! This year we invited Amanda Hill and her girls to join in on the experience. The kids really enjoyed decorating their gingerbread men and women and other various cookies. I enjoyed decorating my house and being with the kids and adults. I am wanting to make new and different holiday traditions with my boys. One tradition I would like to make is to have a family game night. Luke really enjoys playing games and I enjoy watching the glow and wonder in his face when he wins. We played a veggietales game with him this evening and Luke enjoyed it so much. What are your holiday or everyday traditions? Think about starting some new ones!
