Adam and I started a few of our own family traditions a couple years ago and have enjoyed keeping up the tradition. We go out to dinner, this year we took the girls to China Palace. It's one of his mom's favorites and the girls had never been there before. After dinner we meet up with family and go to the Calvary Christmas Program at the Dixie Center. This is actually really neat. The music is awesome, they have a band with electric guitars playing the carols. It really gets you into the Christmas spirit. We usually head out before the sermon starts though. we then head home and get in our Christmas pajamas and open our gifts from each other. At the beginning of December we drew names and then the girls did certain chores to earn money for that person. Then we all went to Wal-mart and went shopping. Adam had Sadie and got her sunglasses and finger nail art stuff. Sadie had Gentry and got her a teacup puppy and a bag of cheetos. Gentry had Calli and got her an earring holder and earrings. Calli had me and got me some fuzzy slippers, candle wax blocks and body spray. I had Adam and got him a puzzle and chess. After we opened our presents we open a new family game and play it until bedtime. Then we track Santa and leave out our cookies, eggnog and carrots.
This year we got the game "headbands" What a fun game.
Never a dull moment in the Peterson home.
