Christmas Traditions - Old and New

KK and D:  If you haven't gathered this yet, we are BIG on traditions.  As the saying in the family goes - if we've done it once (and liked it) it's officially a tradition!!!

 New tradition - Christmas stories by the fire at night before bedtime.

Daddy makes a nice pillow for storytime.

 Fresno Santa Party Tradition continues.  Santa was captivating as usual!

 May I please have my 8th snowflake cookie???

 Two sweet angels for the Nativity play - Cousin Annie and KK are instant buddies every time!

And our little Shepard Dylan.
We also go to do Christmas Tree Lane complete with a special event at the Fresno State President's house, complete with the full Fresno State Band.   It was really special and very festive.
Good times!!!

KK: Sending our letters to Santa in a smoke signal at the firepit.

This was awesome and totally worked!!!  The elves get our letters in a smoke signal up at the North Pole and reconstruct the message from the smoke to add our wishes to Santa's list.

I asked for a butterfly doll and Ariel doll for Christmas.

Dylan asked for a woo woo helicopter.
