Traditions

So I was reading my friend Shannon's blog and she got me thinking about our family traditions. We don;t have a lot of our own yet but we have a few and some from our childhood.

- For the pas 6 years now our Halloween tradition is to eat mama Faylor's corn chowder(YUMMY, and Aubrey's absolute fave) before trick or treating then come back for cake and ice cream for Aubrey's birthday.

-every Christmas eve after our baths we always get new PJ's that are a surprise with new slippers.

-on Christmas morning we can always look in our stockings but can't touch any presents until my dad hands them out.

- the first snow of the season i attempt to make (again)Faylor's famous cinnamon rolls with hot cocoa.

- while we live in Colorado (we couldn't do it in South Dakota) we go and cut down our Christmas tree in the forest and have hot chocolate. Now that we're back we can start that again.

Dave and I have been talking about this for a few years and need to start more of our own traditions. I'm interested to see what others do.

I was telling my mom about this post and her shout out, she got a good kick out of it. She actually checks your blog occasionally too, but hadn't seen it yet. So I was telling her that I don't have her corn chowder recipe, and she said that she kind of made it up. She is notorious for not following recipes, and tries to give me recipes by telling me put a little of this and a little of that in! She said she hasn't made it in years, so if she actually wrote it down for you while it was fresh in her head I would love to get it from you. Maybe you could share with all your blog readers! :)
