Traditions

December 1st, the town lighting. Sometimes I feel like I live in Mayberry. I love the town lighting and the excitment and the feeling of Christmas. There is a wagon ride, displays of nativities, music, and SANTA. When we count down for the lights to come on and you look up and down our beautiful main street it is a feeling of excitment. We have never stood in line to see Santa before, but we did this year for Kamy. I will post a picture and you can decide how it went.

And this is how the Santa thing went.

Poor Santa, he was so good and kind to her. The whole time up there I was telling her look how nice Santa is, I love Santa, are you excited to see Santa? I even asked her what are you going to say to Santa and she said "nice to meet you." I thought we were good to go, but no such luck she SCREAMED! On the way home she said "Me not like that guy."

All in all it was a very fun evening. We have a tradition that after the town lighting we go home and eat Italian food. It use to be just Shea and I and the kids but it has grown into much more. We had my parents and Shea's parents and my sisters and their kids, and their kids. It was a ton of fun!!! I love Traditions, sometimes I think that might be the only thing that will keep us going when times get hard. We will be able to look back on the good times and remember the love we have for each other and that they will be that way again! As the holidays get going we just want to wish everyone a happy season. ENJOY! Don't be to busy TO enjoy it. That goes for me too. Merry CHRISTmas!
