A Family Tradition





Last night we went to one of my favorite annual family Christmas traditions. Ever since moving to Georgia 4 years ago, we have gone to the holiday night at our local grocery store. They have a Thanksgiving meal (pictured above), and other tasty samples: apple cider, egg nog, holiday ice creams, etc. My grandma, who is now home from the hospital, came and so did my parents, sister, and uncle who is visiting. Walking around eating Christmas cookies, turkey, and listening to Christmas carols totally put me in the holiday spirit! :-)

I forgot to mention that a couple weeks ago, I went to a Chritmas craft fair and bought a hand-made Christening dress for the baby. I'll post a picture of it. That fair is another great holiday tradition. What are you favorite traditions with your family?

Mmm, looks good! I'm excited for Thanksgiving ~ I can't wait to cook! :) I bet that her christening dress is beautiful. Can't wait to see a picture of it! We're going to have Lucas baptized, but ... we haven't found a church yet in our area.

I love family traditions :) we have so many. For examply - I let the kids choose a christmas tree decoration each year. When they leave home one day, I'll give them all the decorations they chose, so that they have enough to decorate their tree with
