Holiday Cheer

I love this time of year. I love listening to Christmas songs, decorating the house and tree, and baking sweets for loved ones. I also really like traditions. Gabe and I have both carried our own family traditions into each others lives and will continue to practice them. I also like the idea of starting new family traditions that we can do as our own family. Here are some that we've started:

• Bake sugar cookies and custom design one of your own
• Buy a new ornament for our tree picked out together - maybe this will be changed to make our own family christmas ornament
• Name our christmas tree - last year it was fred the douglas fir, this year we have scarlet
• Added this year -- tour our neighborhood holiday lights on our bikes - super fun!
• have a gingerbread house build off

That's all I can think of so far. What are your family traditions, new or old?
because i teach preschool we have these AWESOME neon food colors, however also because i teach preschool, our "normal" colors are at school...Our stockings from both sides of the family -- wheeler side are the large ones, wards side are the smaller ones in the middle. Gabe's grandma has the Wheeler ones made, my aunt made my little one and I made gabe's little one. so fun!Scarlet
