We are in full holiday mode!! The holiday parties and get-togethers are starting. I truly love this time leading up to Christmas, maybe even more than actual Christmas Day. Every year, we: - decorate our house Thanksgiving week - have Wright Thanksgiving the weekend after Thanksgiving - got to my mom's and decorate her tree all together - go to my Granny's Christmas party at her nursing home - go see Christmas Light's with Dad and Grace - have Wright Christmas the weekend before Christmas with a WILD Chinese Christmas gift exchange and plenty of barbeque IT'S ALL SO FUN!!! Family traditions are my favorite. Here are some pictures from Wright Thanksgiving and Granny's party. Their is always a Santa at Granny's thing, and the kids both talked and sat with him this year- it only took 4 years to get comfortable with Santa!!!!
