So this time of the year is filled with many family traditions for many people. That is one of the reasons that I adore this time of the year. Some of the traditions that I have filled me with great joy are the following. My girls in the family (Angel, Jenni, Natalie, Aunt Terri and mom) go Christmas shopping to Gurnee Mills every year in November. Us girls have done this for over 11yrs. It is a day of just adults. We stay so long we have lunch and dinner. It is also a day that we get most of our gifts done. We also fill the day with lots of laughter, drinks and fun. I look forward to this day every year.
The next one I love is my day with my mother in law, Jean. We go shopping for the day. The weekend after Thanksgiving. I usually get all my gift buying done that day. I also help her with her gift list. I love this day cause it is a rare thing for her and I to spend a day just us. We laugh almost the whole time. I am one lucky girl to have such an amazing mother in law.
I of course have many more traditions that I hold dear but in time they will have there own posts!
