Traditions are awesome. I love getting together with family for the holidays. It's all about being with family and making memories for me. This year my mom started a new tradition. She read us a book about Pennies Christmas Jar. It's an adorable story about a little girl, whose family saves money in a jar all year long, and then each member of the family gets to take a turn choosing who to give it to on Christmas. It was Pennie's turn and she chose an elderly sick man in her neighborhood. My Mom gave us each a Christmas jar so we too, could save our pennies and give to someone less fortunate. I love this new traditon! I am looking forward to it.
My Mom's house on Christmas.
The kids got some pretty awesome stuff from their Grandma and Grandpa M.
Papa Tod & Grandma Fran's house on Christmas.We had a yummy mexican lunch and the kids got some pretty awesome stuff again. We are so grateful for Grandparents!
So glad my brother was around for the holidays this year! I loved him and Shannin's matching Christmas sweaters!
Grandma Andi & Papa Bill's on Christmas eve. We had an amazing turkey dinner and some good times watching all of the kids perform songs for us. Ryker likes to wear this hat and strum the guitar and sing for us. He sings jingle bells, pirate songs, and whatever comes to mind. He's such a little character.
The kids are so lucky to have so many cousins to play with.
The kid table!
Looking back on all of these pictures just warms my heart. I am so thankful for my family, each and every member of it. I love spending the holidays with them and look forward for the years to come!
