One of my favorite new traditions since moving up to Oregon is cutting down our own Christmas tree.
And of course enjoying some hot chocolate by the fire.
Our traditions have changed year to year but this Christmas we made a big breakfast with Great Grandma's cinnamon rolls and had Grammy over to enjoy it with us. Then the kids opened their presents from us and we spent the morning just hanging out. We tried really hard to not get carried away with the gifts this year as the kids already have so much. So everyone got new jammies on Christmas Eve, a new book, a lego/duplo block set, and a new bike. They loved the books and everyone except poor Cooper was excited about the bike. We probably should have seen it coming but unfortunately didn't. Cooper is our cautious natured one and he wanted nothing to do with a bigger bike. He's really great on his little balance bike but between this one being a lot taller and the fact that it wobbles just a little with the training wheels it was just too much :(
After naps we headed over to Grammy's house for more presents, games, and dinner. It's always so fun to be together and all the kids make it just that much merrier. Grammy is currently at 9 grandkids so you can imagine the excitement in the air.
