The Wittmer's: traditions

I love traditions... I love having my own little family to make, create new and recreate old traditions the way Eric and I want them to be for our family. Family traditions are the glue that holds your family together. Creating memories is one of the most important things to me. I believe these memories can and will last a lifetime through stories, laughter, and photos with me as their mom.

Everyone who knows us knows how CRAZY we are about the holidays... Christmas specifically. Well giving our living situation. {what a positive one it is} But since we are still not in our own house... we are going to have to manipulate a few traditions this year and teach Grandma and Papa a few of our special Christmas Magic tricks. During the holiday time and especially after Thanksgiving we like to include at least one Christmas activity each day. That is very easy since one of our traditions are to read christmas books under the tree each night...more on that in another post... However we just got our tree tonight and the lights are not up yet... This year we started our Christmas Events by doing this...

Eric and I rented Santa Paws. A Disney Christmas Movie. We put Colton to bed and Eric, Ashlyn and I snuggled together in bed, eating a See's Sucker...Eric and Ash Chocolate and me Butterscotch. We watched the movie and LOVED every moment. Several times during the movie Eric and I would look at each other and look at Ash's love and magic in her eyes. We both started to tear up. It was amazing how our love for this beautiful season can be embraced by our two year old. The movie is fun and has a wonderful songs that I can not get out of my head.

"I believe In Christmas. I believe In Love..." Awe over and over.... Me and Ash keep just playing that part of the movie! So fun!
