Christmas Party ♥

i love our traditions.

this year was a little rough just because,

i had to work before and a little during our family christmas party we have every year.

we have great traditions

.

i love that santa comes.

most the kids love it, and look forward

to it every year!!

i love seeing all my family i haven't seen

in awhile..

i love that we're all pretty close.

we have this new tradition where each family shares a treasure

they recognized or had that year.

whether it's the spirit of christmas, a new baby in the family,

something to work on, or something realized, it's always a pretty spiritual & emotional thing. . . . i love it and look forward to it every year, even though i couldn't be there this year :(

i love our dime tradition. we all collect our dimes all year long then bring them

to the christmas party. we then decide where to donate the dimes.

love that idea.

we all exchange gifts as well.

and we do white elephants.

that usually turn to somethin pretty funny...

like...my dad wearing a dress!

i love my family,

and traditions..

i LOVE CHRISTMAS!!
