Traditions

One tradition we are starting with the boys is their ornament collection.  Each year we will take the boys to pick out an ornament for the tree.  Chuck will choose one and Smith will choose one.  Instead of just buying one of the ornament they choose, I will buy two.  I will write the year on the bottom of the ornaments.

When they boys move out of the house, they will take their ornaments with them that they have picked out over the years.  We will also have a set of their ornaments so we won't look at our tree and miss all their ornaments!

Does that make sense?

So today I took the boys to pick out their ornament for this year!  Smith picked a green "roar" (dinosaur) and Chuck picked a Santa Claus that is dressed like a superhero...we think. Actually, we really aren't sure what he picked but he had to have it.

I KNOW!!!! It has been a while!  Five months maybe?  I had a hard time posting from my phone because it wouldn't let me post pictures.  I never ever have time to get on an actual computer to blog.  So here I am.. Trying again.

We are decorated for Christmas!  Lights are up, tree is up and our Christmas blow ups are in the front yard!  Chuck has taken the time to make some wonderful (and flammable) ornaments for our tree!
