Christmas Time!
I love the holidays. The holidays have a way of making people realize what is truly important in life: FAMILY! You all know that I love my family so much and would do anything for them. With all the hustle and bustle of the hecktic holiday season, we have one party after another, but I love it for the simple reason of being with family. This year we have started a new tradition, my family came over and we made a ginger bread house. It was a lot of fun, after we played games and pigged out on snacks. I have decided to continued an old tradition. My grandma Anderson made advent calendars for each grandkid, and would wrap 1 present for each day, then on the 25 there would be a note to come to her house. Since we are all older, she doesn't do this anymore. I thought it would be great to keep the tradition going and got my advent calendar from her and did it for Hals this year. The gifts are not the memory, but what made it the most memorable was that Grandma cared enough to go to all that trouble. Next year we will do it for Wyatt too, and hopefully one day we will do it for their children.

Yeah! Very fun traditions!
I love the advent calendar tradition! I love it! I'll have to do that for our kids when they get old enough. Hals, I love your boots-you look so cute!
