...60 days till Christmas!
{Holy Moly Batman...that is coming up quick}
I'd better get shopping!
I used to be so good about being almost done Christmas shopping by November....let me just say 3 1/2 kids later...that just isn't so easy!

Only 31 days till we get to do this...
We have a tradition of decorating our tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving! I usually break out the decorations before then, cause I get so excited, but I look forward to decorating the tree with the kids every year!
I take about 10 days off from the daycare and I love spending that time with family and friends! (big changes are coming after this time off from the daycare...stay tuned for a post about the daycare) We always spend all of Christmas Eve with my hubby's family and then all Christmas day with my family. {It makes it so much easier that way}
We get dressed up for Christmas Eve and spend most of the day in our PJ's on Christmas day. The PJ's (or comfy clothes) that we wear Christmas day are new ones that we get as a gift on Christmas Eve.
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE traditions?
My mom always saves a gift for each person, for Christmas night, so that the excitement of gifts and giving lasts all day. She used to tell us that Santa sometimes forgets some gifts in his sleigh, so he drops them off at the houses after dinner. {I LOVED this as a kid and my kids love it now}
For Christmas day...we always have cinnamon rolls for breakfast...among a bunch of other yummy things! I LOVE cinnamon rolls!
Christmas Eve we have the kids 'hide' in a room and we tell them Santa is coming, then we put out the rest of the presents under the tree, so that when they come down, the tree is full and presents are ready to be opened. They love this!
What are some of your family traditions for the holidays?!
