In an effort to start some Christmastime family traditions we bought an advent calendar and stuffed each day with a family activity. So each day in December we spent drinking hot chocolate by tree lights, coloring in Christmas coloring books, driving to look at lights, gathering toys for good-will, making presents, singing carols and other fun activities. It was great and will be carried on. Another tradition implemented was the making of Sugar Plum Cake Pops. Yummy and so pretty (no pictures though). And reading The Night Before Christmas from the same book that was read to both Gary and I as children (we bought our own copy). Each year we feel so blessed and this year was no different.
Here are my photo favorites:
