Traditions


(This Gift was made by my Bro. Derek)
Most people know about the traditions in our family. But here is the story of how it came about. When my brothers were younger, they used to make chex mix and put it in glass jars for each other. This is what they could afford and give. Apparently, my parents enjoyed making gifts for each other. My dad made a farmland for the boys out of scraps of wood. So each year, when we were in 3rd grade, we would make a gift for someone in our family. This has turned into a huge tradition, that we do on Christmas Eve. This year, I got smart and took pictures of about every make gift...There were other gifts such as cd, frozen dinner, and of course, the Big Production of "The OFFICE". Enjoy our tradition: (I made the Piano Bag this Year)
















And of Course Santa still comes, but Santa had to come early this year, and bring Mrs. Clause. Though we had a little trouble this year with seeing santa's sleigh. But they still tried to peek.
