What Traditions do you have in your family? It doesn't even have to be for the Holidays. To me keeping traditions within your family are so important. During the holidays I try to get my family involved in getting together and having fun!
One of my favorite traditions growing up was every Christmas eve after we would leave my grandparents house we would go to a neighborhood that they had set up "The night before Christmas" story in their yards, then on the way home we would watch for Santa and his Reindeer in the sky. By that point by brother's knew the truth about Santa but they made sure that I still believed. Then I would always sleep in my brother's room that night, on the floor in between the beds and I loved every minute of it. Sure we fought all the time especially when we were younger, but we loved each other. I believe that the things we did together while we were younger has made our bond stronger now that we are older and starting our own families. My brother's are my best friends, I turn to them for everything. My favorite thing is when they call or text me just to say "Hi" cause we hadent seen them for awhile. My family is the reason I am who I am, I wouldn't be "Me" without "Them"
So back to the point, Traditions. Two traditions I have tried to keep alive since Trev and I have been together is:
1) Going to the lights at Temple Square
This year we went with Trev's Mom, Stepdad, Sister, and her friend.
I am thankful that we can get together as a family and enjoy each other's company. Like I said before, We are nothing without our family.
So here are a few pictures I took at Temple Square

The second tradition I have started is gingerbread houses. Trev and I have made one every year since we have been together, but last year I decided to get my brother's involved. So here is our gingerbread village
Tyson's, Tyler's and Aubree's, Mom and Dad's, Coby and Tai, Charie and Trev

I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday's. I know I have been, We had the opportunity to pick a name off the Angel Tree this year It helped to remind us what Christmas is truly about.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
This is her pea coat I bought for her

Sawyer Christmas morning
New year's Eve
Christmas at his Dad's
Success!! Usually every time Trev tries to hold Sawyer she starts crying. She loves watching him and always has the biggest grin on her face. On Christmas Eve he got to hold her without her crying. We're making progress!
