Holidays!!!

I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving. Mine went well I'm not huge into the traditional food served for Thanksgiving (go figure) *grin* but I did eat it anyways. Last year I think my dad actually made a roast especially for me haha. This year was great anyways. We did our traditional board game playing as usual and pumpkin pie. From here until Christmas will be so crazy busy I can't even believe it. My sister was trying to schedule our annual photo that we do for my mom and dad (the four siblings and four grand kids) and it was actually really difficult to find a time that would work for us all (me being the easiest schedule to deal with being that I am a SAHM and I don't have much for a social life *grin*). Hopefully any of you who did their Christmas shopping on black friday found everything they needed. I already have pretty much all of my gift shopping done. Just a few stocking stuffers I need to get for Arissa. See I do a lot of my Christmas shopping year round like if I find something on sale. One of our families somewhat new traditions is to go to the Macy's eighth floor and the Holidazzle parade. It's a lot of fun and gets you pumped up for Christmas. I would love to hear some of your traditions or maybe arts and crafts projects you do with your kids or you did as a kid.

I wanna do the 8th floor auditorium and holidazzle too! I usually do the macy's thing, but I've NEVER seen the parade!

the only tradition I can think of is that we cut our own tree from my inlaws land. And it's usually a CRAZY tree....one year we had a brown juniper bush....you'll see, it's nuts!
