Christmas Traditions





















For the past 6 years we have had a tradition every Christmas where we go to the mall to see Santa, eat at the Mayan and each of the kids gets to pick out a new ornament for the tree. The Saturday before Christmas we finally got around to doing this. We got to the mall just after they had closed the line for Santa so that he could go to lunch so we decided to go eat first. After eating at the Mayan and remembering how yucky the food is there we decided to find a new place to eat next year. We also took a vote and no one wanted to face the crowded mall again so no family picture with Santa this year. I guess we will have to come up with a new tradition next year. The kids did each get to pick out their new ornament. Devin found a Simpsons one, Megan chose a camp rock ornament and Becca found a lovely :( green bird. She chose it just because she thought it was really ugly. (teenagers!!)

I guess some traditions have to change when your kiddos get older. Sounds like you guys have so much fun together!

Make sure Becca takes that bird when she moves out. (I forget about Mayans yucky food too)
