Traditions!

I like Christmas Traditions and one of the traditions we have is to make Christmas ornaments each year with our cousins.  We have done this for the last 3 years.  When we started the little ones were young....so it was really mostly THE BOY, THE GIRL, Holly, and I making ornaments....
Holly's baby wasn't even born.  Her LITTLE BOY and my BABY were only infants when we began.  Her oldest son was 2 and THE TWINKIES were about 1 1/2!  I don't know what we were thinking that year! Both Holly and I like to make memories and create family traditions.....
Needless to say....Last year was better and this year....was even better!

THE GIRL really likes doing crafts and is very artistic!

THE BABY did a great job....but she did tire out and ended up having to spend some time upstairs composing herself after an ornament meltdown.

Holly's BOY did a fantastic job and both her boys really enjoyed making the ornaments. 

We always love getting together with the cousins.  They played, made a mess, made ornaments, fussed a little, whined a little, cleaned up, ate lunch, and just had some good ole fun!  We are so blessed to have our sweet, sweet cousins nearby!
