A Few of Our Favorite Christmas Traditions

– On December 23rd every year we go to dinner with my parents, sister, brother-in-law, and brother. We like to think of it as the calm before the storm. It is a wonderful night of just us before the busyness of the next two days.

– We love making yummy treats.

    The cake for Jesus is such a sweet idea! We don’t really have any specific traditions that I can think of but now that little man is here I’m sure we’ll start some fun ones once he’s able to understand the holidays more. 😀
