Spending time with our children is so important to Derek and I. One of the fun things to do with them is to do yearly traditions. It makes sure that at least that one thing gets to happen with them every year. We MAKE time for the silly little things. I like that about traditions. Not all traditions are great, but I do believe in making them for your own family. One of our yearly traditions has been decorating gingerbread houses. I love seeing how different they are each year and what we all can come up with, with the different things we pick out each year. We also started a new tradition this year. We went to the store with several pinterest ideas. We wanted to incorporate Christ into our Christmas. We had a thankful tree for Thanksgiving and decided we could do a Christmas tree and decorate it with bulbs of gifts for our Savior. I LOVE this new tradition! It was a fun family activity and it brought the real reason of Christmas up in our home and gave us goals to work on over the Christmas season. This is a "NEW" tradition we will keep for many years! I'm so excited to see what gifts we can come up with each year and see the different trees we make.
