We have so many things we do in December that are the same every year but I still feel like I need to document them as our 'traditions'
Our annual gingerbread house decorating. Yes I still only buy them one and I love the time they spend together.
I won the Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert ticket lottery this year. Only Aria wanted to go with us so we invited Brigitte as well. It was so good and I always love when I get the chance to go to this concert. And I love that Aria wanted to go, she loves Christmas music!
Shane got out Grandpa South's train a few days before Christmas. The kids love this tradition and always have fun playing with the train. And of course our annual sleep under the Christmas tree the night before Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve was on Sunday so we went to Church and took a family picture and then went to my parents for Christmas Eve. We had a yummy dinner and the kids still wanted to act out the Nativity.
Christmas Day was spent at home hanging out after all presents were opened. Then we went to my parents again for Christmas dinner. I am usually so bad at getting pictures on Christmas but here are a few I did get.
The week after Christmas we went to Quincy to visit VaLois. Jim her husband passed away a week before Christmas so we wanted to go visit and offer her support. It was a good visit, low key. We didn't do much, went on a few drives, went bowling and just hung out being with Grandma.
We drove home New Year's Eve day and got home in time to eat our traditional piezookie and ice cream and ring in the New Year. Looking forward to what 2024 has in store for us!!
