Traditions

I love Christmas, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year. We try our very best to keep the focus on Jesus. As most of you know, we do not play the Santa game at our house (you can click here to go my post from last year and read all about that) but we still have TONS of fun making lots of memories!

During the month of December we have lots of traditions that we do.

One of the traditions that the kids LOVE is the pickle ornament. The pickle ornament is a German tradition. It is the last ornament hung on the tree, the child that finds the ornament first gets to open a present. I changed the rules a little bit this year, I gave in when I saw BIG crocodile tears in the child's eyes that did not find the pickle first, so they BOTH got a small surprise(coloring books)!


Here are the kids looking
