Christmas time is all about traditions. I love taking what Luke and I grew up with and combining them to make our own. So far It' s worked out really well. Growing up my parents would get each of the kids an ornament for Christmas. I loved it because when I got married my mom handed me my box of ornaments. I had so many that we were able to fill our tree up. We decided to do the same with our kids, but we changed it just a little. I love Hallmarks ornaments. They seriously have the best ones to chose from. The only problem is they are expensive. That's why I wait until after Christmas when they are 90% off. I save them for the next year. Then when it's time to decorate the tree I let them open up their new ornaments. They love it and get so excited. Here is what they received:
Nick got Star Wars
Sammy got Tinkerbell
Parker got Captain America
Noah was sound asleep but he got the Little People school bus. We had so much fun doing the tree this year. I can't wait until I can put ornaments all over the tree instead of the top.

That is a great idea. We do the ornaments too, but I like that you give it to them before decorating the tree. Might have to start that :)
What a great idea! I am so glad you guys are still in our ward.
