I've really enjoyed reading so far. LOVED your post on the boys turning two. My twins turn two on the 29th and I can't believe it. It make me teary just thinking about how far we've come since I was pregnant just hoping everyday they would stay put longer... And what a great idea to start Christmas traditions. Happy Holidays!

And what a great idea to start Christmas traditions.

Happy Holidays!

There were all sorts of Christmas traditions that I had as a child. Brook had a mix of Hanukkah and Christmas, but he can't remember any sort of 'tradition' that they did year after year. In fact, he put up lights on our house this year and said that it was the first time he's ever had lights up around Christmas time. We haven't had a tree for the years that we've lived in Alaska (well, maybe we did one year), but we do plan on having one next year. That is the main reason I was so bummed that our flight was cancelled because we have no tree and haven't done much Christmasizing. Next year, I want to make cookies with the boys...frosting and sprinkles...all the fun stuff. IF we make it to Portland, I wanted the boys to build a little Gingerbread House with the kits at Trader Joes. Maybe that would be a good Christmas Day activity. Now you've got me thinking and I think that Brook and I need to have a serious conversation about traditions..or lack thereof! I hope that your flight makes it out of Christmas Day. Things are looking better there...still cold, but it looks like the snow has ceased. I am really hoping to take the boys to the Zoo Lights at the Portland Zoo. I was so happy to hear that they will continue them until the 28th! Merry Christmas! Man, you are really on top of this! There were all sorts of Christmas traditions that I had as a child.
