holidays are here

The holidays are officially here. This year has been a mixture of feelings. On one hand it is exciting to start our own tradition with Huston, yet on the other it is hard to let go of our traditions we've had with our families in the past.....and get used to each others. I didn't make gravy for the turkey because I never do. Doug has never gone a Thanksgiving without it. I like to listen to classic country while decorating. Doug thought I was nuts. Doug wanted to get pictures with Huston on Santa's lap. I thought won't the mall be crowded? Doug likes to lay out cookies for Santa. I thought, really? We had so much going on last year, that none of this came out and with the addition of Huston, we've been trying to decide what we want to be sure and hold on to.

I'm excited to see what our traditions will look like a few years from now as we blend what we've done before and add some new ones. One thing we know we are starting this year - Breakfast for our Christmas dinner!
