Traditions....

Every since I was a little girl I remember dreaming under the white twinkling lights of a freshly decorated Christmas tree! Reading Christmas stories and falling asleep with a hot chocolate mustache. It really was some of my favorite times. So of course it was a tradition I wanted to pass on to my kids. So every year the night we decorate the tree we all sleep under it's majestic glow reading Christmas stories, sipping hot chocolate and giggling together. It is quite possibly still my favorite tradition this time of year!

After a somewhat restful night we packed the bags and headed to the cabin for a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend full of food, movies,lat night fun, and shopping. It was so nice to get away and enjoy some family time. Especially since the numbers are dwindling befor TJ leaves!! We woke up Sunday morning to a gorgeous snow storm! When I saw this view from the window, I was pretty sure our weekend getaway was going to be extended!

But then I remembered Travis lives for driving in stuff like this so he was eager to dig out and put the four-wheel drive to work. Thankfully we all made it home safetly. Ahh now back to reality...
