Traditions

My Grandma and Grandpa started a tradition back when I was a little girl.  Every Christmas Season we would get together with all the cousins, aunts and uncles and have wonderful Christmas parties. We would do skits, sing carols, act out the Nativity, play games, do puzzles and do a present exchange. As the family grew, we held it at the church to give us more room. This tradition is still alive, even though the family has changed quite a bit. Our Grandparents have past, but we now hold the Christmas Party in their remembrance, to celebrate our Saviors birth together as they would want us to do.  Here are some pictures:

Ryan, Eli and Kaci. Eli is showing is train he made. Sometimes it is really difficult to get that boy to smile for the camera.  He really liked his train!

Here is Kaci in front of the gift table. She got the perfect doggie gift from my cousin Kasey's fam. My kids LOVE dogs!
