Holiday Traditions

It is so fun when the holidays come and we do our family traditions...Some things we do are bake my aunt Peg's sugar cookies; make homemade candy with my mom and grandma; read Christmas stories each night; see lights; write letters to Santa and build gingerbread houses. A new tradition we started recently is each Monday night (our family night) leading up to Christmas we read of the birth of Christ and have the kids open a family gift.  This year the kids got a Christmas game, a video, and gingerbread house kits.  Its always a gift we do as a family right after they open it.  The kids love it.  Here's some pics of our traditions this holiday season...

Ashlee was so excited that she could write her own letters to Santa this year.  Love her little 5 year old writing!

Christmas Performance and Recital

Ashlee was a busy girl right before school was out.  First she had her Christmas singing program in her kindergarten class.  It was so cute.  She was a dancing doll.  Then the day after she was in her dance recital.  She did a ballet number and a tap dance.

Christmas Tree

This year Ashlee and Bryson were my little helpers in decorating the tree.  They had so much fun and did such a great job.

Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving this year was at Bryan and Sariah's.  We had a delicious turkey and ham dinner.  The next day we headed up to the lake and did Thanksgiving with the Garcia side.  The kids had fun riding on quads and dirt bikes and being with their cousins.

Thanksgiving Performance

Ashlee's kindergarten class put on a cute performance all about the Pilgrims and Indians.  They sang songs and did a skit.  Afterwards her teacher served pumpkin pie.  The kids did a really good job.

Ash was an Indian.

Grandma Veirs and Great Grams were able to come.
