Traditions. I love that my kids are really starting to recognize certain times of the year and remember the things that we do to celebrate each year. Thanksgiving means: Chenese comes to town, makes cheesecake and has a dance party. We eat cinnamon rolls on Thanksgiving morning, get outside and get moving, and do some crafts before its time for Paul & Dawn's. On the drive home, we listen to Christmas music :) Later that weekend, we go to a play with Nana & Chenese, and preferably have a sleepover at Bub & Nana's. It's such simple little things, but they make all of us so happy. This year, we decided to opt out of the Turkey Trot and instead, stayed on the prairie and had a Turkey Hunt...definitely adding to the list of Thanksgiving Traditions!
This year, the play we saw was A Christmas Carol. Nana always buys a raffle cookie for the kids at intermission, and before the second act, they call out the winning number. Lola's number was called and she won a season ticket for next year's plays. She was SO excited...we all were! Now Mac is determined to win!
