Family Traditions!!!

We love family Traditions! We drove 8 hours from Colorado straight to Nana's kitchen! Nana's yummy Christmas dinner is definitely a tradition--with shrimp, crab and all the table festivities (poppers with crowns, gadgets and jokes)! It is also a tradition to wear reindeer antlers! Tom is always the last to put his on and jump in the picture...to think he could get out of doing this tradition? Somethings never change from year to year!!! Another tradition we all enjoy is going over to the Jackson's to see all the Wright family! Santa always makes his way to their home for us to sit on his lap(poor Santa as our family continues to get older and weigh more!)We love being a part of this family! They always are so fun to be around! On the drive home it is tradition to drive through the neighborhoods to look at Christmas lights. Then we come home get on our Christmas pajamas and watch the Nativity movie of the Saviors birth. It really puts everything in perspective of why we celebrate Christmas! We are so grateful for our family traditions that make us feel apart of our family and our so thankful for what each family member adds to our wonderful family traditions!A family tradition the kids all love is getting new Christmas pajamas!
Four Generations of Women! We are so blessed to have Great Nana for Christmas! She radiates love!

Such a cute family, and wonderful traditions! We had those same beautiful paper hats on, Christmas eve too! We also do the pajama tradition. Hmmm, are we sisters? :) We are headed to the cabin in about an hour. I will give you a call from the car. I hope your migraine is feeling better. Hugs, Michelle
