Traditions, New & Old

Some traditions fade to make room for new ones.  
Some will have to wait until next year.
Some will change slightly to accommodate ever changing schedules.
And some will continue on year after year!

A new tradition that started just a couple years ago is hot cocoa at the Starbucks in Barnes and Nobles.  Is there anything cozier than hot chocolate in a book store at Christmas?!  


Ginny and I have a lunch or dinner date every year before Christmas to exchange gifts before everything gets too hectic.  The past few years, we've started taking a selfie with the big Christmas tree down the street from the restaurant we eat at.


Nanaimo bars are a tradition I'd be happy to let go, but Mike won't let me haha.  I think it's also a tradition to make them with expired ingredients, since it seems to happen every year.


A Christmas Sunday picture all dressed up is a tradition I love.  This year, we took two separate cars to church and the boys had to go sing carols for a member of the ward, and Kya and Jordan weren't home yet, so Summer and I did a selfie;)  Good enough for this year.


Our tradition of matching Christmas jammies and baking sugar cookies held strong this year!


Kya wasn't home on Christmas Eve this year and we missed her.  
Hopefully she and Clayton will both be with us next year!!


I absolutely love this time of year, and it doesn't really matter what we do as long as we're together---and I get some good pictures:)
