Christmas Traditions

Crafts and Christmas go hand in hand.  When I was a little girl we used to make some sort of new ornaments for our tree every year.  One year we made shrinky dink ornaments, and that year stands out as one of my favorite.  I was so excited when I found a shrinky dink kit for my girls to try.  Miki was amazed at how much they shrunk.
 
 
Over the years Kay and I have created many traditions of our own.  Visiting temple square in Salt Lake is one of my favorites.  You can't leave temple square without feeling the Christmas Spirit.

 Walking among all the different nativities is always so much fun.  Notice the pretty flowers.  The very next day a big snowstorm covered them up.
 
 
Walking along the lanterns is one of my favorite spots.  Having with me my favorite people in the world makes it that much funner.

 As we were getting ready to leave a nice gentleman asked us if we wanted him to take our picture, of which we were happy to let him do.
 
 
Something that's not tradition is having wisdom teeth removed so close to Christmas.  The day after our temple square visit Sam went in to have her wisdom teeth extracted.  The rest of the day me and Sam spent in our motel room.  This is her the next morning.  She has everything she needs; a soft bed, lots of pillows, yogurt and her cell phone.
