Let's Look- favorite traditions

 

Happy Wednesday, friends! I'm linking up with Shay and Erika today for this fun link party. Today everyone is talking about favorite traditions. 

I loved all the fun things we did when our sons were little during Christmas, but we had one tradition that really stands out and it was so very simple. We all loaded up into the Suburban in our pajamas and at least one (sometimes two) dog and some blankets and we would go look at Christmas lights. We would fold the seats down on this one night and they would pile into the back with the dog(s) and their blankets, we would go get coffee or hot chocolate from Starbucks, and we would drive around looking at Christmas lights.

We would do that until they all started arguing, then we'd call it a night and head home.

Now that they're older, my new favorite thing to do is to be together on my birthday or on Todd's birthday. Mine is next Tuesday the fourteenth and all I want to do is eat together as a family, I want a picture of all of them with me and I want to drive around and look at lights afterward. I don't care about gifts, but I'd love a card or five (words mean the world to me) and I want quality time with them. Here was my birthday last year.

I'd love my bonus son Alex to be with us as well. The other thing I really enjoy is spending time with Mom on my actual birthday. I love to go to lunch and do a couple other fun things. I am all about quality time. 

Your turn! I'd love to hear about your favorite traditions. What is one thing you love at this time of year?

Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all. ❤
