Starting our own Christmas Traditions

I can't believe the holidays are over. Despite getting stuck at the in laws for the week of Christmas, this Christmas was one of the best. We decided early on that this was the year we'd start our own traditions and stay home for the holiday. The week before Christmas we went to Temple Square to see the lights. This was number one on my list of traditions. It ended up being the busiest time to go seeing that there was a jazz game and an event at the conference center, which made parking a nightmare. The night turned out well though as we got snowed on quite a bit. Number two was buy an ornament that expresses the year. Three on our list was make Christmas eve dinner along with a few deserts. Four is open pajamas on Christmas eve. And last on our list was to go shopping for discount Christmas decor after Christmas. Well we kept all our traditions and Christmas this year was great. Ayden got a lot of clothes since he got so many toys for his birthday. He did get a farm though, which happens to be his most favorite toy now. Axton didn't really get much. I guess he didn't really need anything since he just gets Ayden's stuff. We did get him a soother for his crib, because Ayden's not quite ready to give his up. Eric got sick at his mom's the weekend before Christmas and we didn't want to risk driving home and him getting worse so we stayed the whole week. I drove down to Provo Monday night with my sister to pick up all our gifts and things we'd need for Christmas. I got everything i wanted this year. I spent the day with my amazing family, we had a very white christmas, and i got to start my very own family traditions. Here are some pictures we took over the holidays. Enjoy and Happy New Year!!
