Traditions!

Every year, we think we don't have any traditions. And then we start doing them and realize we do!
Somehow, I managed to NOT get a picture of any of the fun things we've been doing, but here's a quick synopsis. By the way, this is for our family journaling purposes. Not to flaunt the fact that we have had tons of fun with tons of family and friends. We realize we're especially blessed that way.
* Celebrated mommy's birthday for three nights in a row.
*Took around homemade cake bites for neighbor gifts and laughed as our kids took them to our neighbors' doors.
* Hosted the Fisher Family Christmas Party.
* Enjoyed having cousins Taylor and Laura stay for two nights with their cute baby Peyton.
* Mommy had a Ladies' Night Out with all her high school friends in Salt Lake.
* Made Christmas cookies with the cousins at Grandma Ross's and then went sledding for hours across the street at the park.
* Went to see the Spanish Fork Festival of Lights with all the cousins bundled up in the back of a pick up truck, followed by cookies, hot chocolate and sleepovers.
*Celebrated Christmas as our little family for one night at the Riverwoods mall.
* Ate Christmas Eve dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Fisher's house with Papa Ace. Sang Christmas carols with Jeffrey afterward.
*Watched the kids try to overcome the obstacle of dad's "booby trap" he made to prevent them from getting up the stairs to their presents on Christmas morning.
* Opened presents Christmas morning with both sets of grandparents there to watch. A yummy breakfast afterward with the Fishers at our house.
*Had Christmas Day lunch at the Ross's. Opened presents from the cousins gift exchange, watched the family slideshow mommy makes every year, and played games at the church.
