Following Tradition

It has been tradition at my granny and papas's since I was little girl that on Christmas Eve we got to pick a present to open. It was always a big deal for me and my sister to shake our presents to see which one we wanted to open. Keeping with tradition, Andrew and Sara and the other grands open a present at Gran and Pop's but my kids also get to open one at home too. As you can see, Andrew opened at set of Razorback dominos (guess what we've been doing) and Sara opened her American Doll.


Christmas is a time for family and friends. I have wonderful memories that I hold near and dear to my heart. Getting up early in the morning and seeing what Santa brought at home then heading to Granny and Papa's to open more gifts, spending the day there and eating homemade bread, candy and ham, playing with my toys, playing a game that Granny always got for all of us to play, visiting with friends that stopped by Granny's during the day to have a drink and eat some of her spread. Memorable moments, great times!!!!!
We are still making memories. I hope my kids can look back when they are my age and laugh, live and cry at great memories we have made for them.

I'm glad you all had a wonderful Christmas. We did too! Where did you get the American Girl doll? I forgot all about those. My girls got to build a bear at the Build-A-Bear workshop. Their Aunt Emile took them there. It's amazing how quick Christmas comes and goes, isn't it? I'm not even close to ready to go back to work yet. Heck, we have dental appointments this morning at 10 and I had to set my alarm for 8 to make sure I got up. That's pretty pitiful :-)
