traditions...

With N getting bigger this year I really wanted to start making our own traditions. He is remembering so much now and I really want him to have good memories of our family time. So this past weekend starting with Thanksgiving - was all about traditions. We started Thanksgiving with Christmas music and baking. I had my apron on and he wanted to wear one. The closest I had was his little carpenter apron but it worked just fine. He loves to help me cook and I was thrilled to have him help for such a special day. We peeled apples for apple crisp and stuffing and he put the sugar in - his most favorite thing to help with. I think it resembles sand and digging so he is really into that. We spent the majority of the day at D's parents. We had a lot of fun! We ate, played games and really enjoyed the company. We spent Saturday in the "city" visiting Santa and then it was off to Build A Bear to build the new Rudolph and Clarice. The little miss had so much fun. I wasn't sure she would want to but she didn't skip a beat. It was so fun to watch her enjoy something so much! I'm hoping to repeat that next year!! Hope everyone had as wonderful holiday as we did!!

Oh my gosh. Looking at these pictures and reading your entry made me so jealous of the relaxed nature of your holidays. I feel mine are lost in the craziness of our life right now. It will be good to see you and hopefully you can bring those traditions over thsi way because we have no order right now- just chaos.

N and A look so happy- those reindeer look great! N is looking so much like a little man with his kempt hair I love it.

What I would really love is to see that little blonde in liederhosen. That would be classic- he looks so swiss.

Ok seriously stop shaming everyone- I just looked at your new banner- very nice, sheek, and reverant.
