Traditions are so fun! I love remembering the same event and
looking at how much has changed over the year. While the traditions are not as
important as the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus, they are still
a fun way to get in the cultural holiday spirit and have the “warm fuzzies” making
memories as a whole family. This year we are doing a little advent calendar
that we put together. We have planned out special activities to do throughout the
holiday season. Most of the activities are things we have done in past years
that we knew we would want to make a tradition again and a few others were new
ideas that we want to try. The ideas vary from super simple {read a Christmas story
or get a treat at Starbucks-on a day when I know we will be busy} to more
planned out family events {go look at a special Christmas light display at
Manito} Here are a few of the things we did. Eventually others may be posted on
their own like our Santa visit but this give you a good idea of how much fun we
have been having together!
We got a bit of a head start and actually decorated before our calendar started.
Decorating with Great Grandma Lois

Painting a picture for someone special
