Favorite Christmas Traditions

Since this year was our first year to celebrate Christmas as a family (well...Adam, Daisy and I were certainly a family - so first year with more than two humans) we decided to take some Christmas traditions from Adam's family and my family and also create our own. It will be great to tell Caroline one day that we've been doing something from the very beginning.

Christmas Eve Communion - Adam used to go every year with his family and it was a very special time. We went this year and we just loved it!!



Pickle Ornament - I bought Adam this ornament when we were dating. He had never heard of this tradition. His family (and our friends a week earlier) had a great time trying to find the pickle and winning a beautiful cheese dome!



Christmas Eve PJ's - my siblings and I were allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve. We each usually got some pajamas and then we all got a gift together which was usually a movie. We would watch the movie and fall asleep, excited about waking up the next morning. We are going to open all gifts on Christmas morning, but Caroline will get one present on Christmas Eve - pajamas!! She looked like such a little doll!


Of course that's not all of our Christmas traditions, but those are some of our favorite things that we will keep doing year after year!!
