Its a time for traditions and awards!!!

Jennifer over at This Girl loves Pink, is such a sweetheart as well as The NewlyWoodards both tagged me in a couple awards and I will gladly except! First:

Jennifer gave me this to hang on my wall

I know....you are thinking what? Kreativ Blogger? Well I got it anyways so I will tag everyone later. Thanks for always commenting Jennifer and I always enjoy a good post from you!


Now moving on, This wonderful blog chain is so much fun! Christmas Traditions are really important to me and I am excited to start more with my husband.


So the rules are pretty simple, list all or your favorite Christmas traditions or ones you want to start!

1. Christmas morning we still all got to my parents very early in the morning and open gifts from "Santa" like we always have. This means me and my hubby, the little bro, my big bro, SIL and all the grandkids are at my parents house around 7:00 to open presents. It still sooo much fun! Mom makes a big breakfast and everyone is still in their p.j.s! Now this means me and hubby either open Christmas eve or early early Christmas morning

2. My siblings and I still unwrap one present only on Christmas eve....this is alway a board game for the family

3. I start baking Christmas Candy the week before Christmas so I can get it all made

4. My mom has made the same Christmas breakfast for as long as I can remember, only now it is doubled and trippled to feed our growing family. Breakfast Quiche

5. We watch "The Christmas Story" starting Christmas eve and all day on Christmas

6. Christmas eve is always celebrated with 40 people or so from my Grandma's family. It always has been and always will be!

7. Often times mom gives our pets presents

8. This year I am starting something new, on Christmas eve morning since Husband and I are usually working till 12 I am making him and myself Christmas eve breakfast!!!! I am starting it this year and this can be "our time" to spend all alone!

9. Our Christmas church time is 4:00 p.m on Christmas eve

10. We always get a new ornament every year with our names and year on it....usually our dog Macey has one too.

Ok I need to stop because it is getting way too long! Here we go with the tags:
