Re: QOTD: Holiday Traditions
My mom, aunt, and I always make Christmas cookies together... since I can't resist, here is a picture!
Baking Christmas cookies with my mom, sister, cousin and sister-in-law. We bake way more cookies than we need but it's so much fun!
Christmas Eve at my parents house. My mom always tries to get someone else to host it but nobody else will because it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't at her house!!!
We cut our tree down every year, decorate listening to music, eat chili afterwards and watch some christmas movie. We also do christmas jammies for the kids before bed on xmas eve then read T'was the Night Before Christmas before bed. The morning of we all get up at the same time and run down the stairs together to open gifts. Stockings are last. (I always wish for jewelry in my stocking since we started stockings between me and dh- he proposed with my ring in the toe of my stocking) '
Oh, we also watch It's A Wonderful Life before the holiday and drink some wine

I think my favorite tradition is the "cousin sleepover". On my mom's side there are 21 grandchildren, 14 of which are girls. So every year all the girls pile over to grandma's house and we have Sloppy Janes and watch movies together. I love this tradition and will continue to do this until grandma can no longer host the sleepover.
OMG, she is super cute!!! And she looks like she enjoy this year sooo much more:) i love that smile!!!
