Dalton snug in his bed
"Dear Santa, take my brother and leave your presents"
Traditions.................Isn't that what Christmas is all about? Technically Santa Clause is a tradition, right??
This year was all about starting NEW ones for us. New traditions in OUR first real home(the other homes weren't fake, but you get my point)!
Christmas Eve we typically join the Atcheson family for a mass chaos event, chaos only because my Mom has 6 siblings who have 2 or 3 kids each which are my cousins whom then have 2,3, or 4 kids of their own! That's a lot of cheer under one roof don't ya think?
This year Russ and I decided to stay in with Dalton...well we didn't technically "stay in"...we as a matter of fact went out to see Yogi Bear at the movie theater. It was great! On our way home we did "traditionally" hit up a gas station for some milk and cookies. We have done that the last few years. I am positive my Mother just gasps at the thought of it but it's how we roll. :)
We took pictures of Dalton by the tree with his milk and cookies for Santa, as we did last year.
Ohh I almost forgot to tell you..an Elf stopped by today while Dalton was napping and left him The Grinch plush toy and Thomas the Train jammies. He was sooo excited! We then tucked him in bed and hung the sign on his bedroom door with simple instructions for Santa. :)
PS: If you don't have a chimney Santa makes "magical" keys. We got one and it is on the front porch so that Santa is sure to make it in the house.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Goodnight!
