I'm still amazed that Nick came up with that one on his own.<br /><br />Kay, I know just what you mean about doing all the work for the holidays "just" for your own family. Especially when the kids are little and might be as content with mac and cheese as with a turkey dinner. But these are the things traditions are made of right? Someday they'll look back and say "wasn't that cranberry sauce good?? I remember watching mom stir it over the stove every Thanksgiving" At least I hope so! :)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00405446358997495320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531853562085611326.post-46774843600080269952010-11-30T08:53:45.308-05:002010-11-30T08:53:45.308-05:00yes, being a military family means 'traditions...yes, being a military family means 'traditions' don't quite look like the old familial things we grew up doing. but i love what you have chosen to do. this year my husband reminded me that within our home, we must make our family of 7 important and worth making traditions with. i was feeling a bit blue not being with family yet again this year. but my kids and hubby are more than worth the cooking, the clean up, the family games, and decorating for Christmas. we make them ourselves and we cherish them during our migrant lives :-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868042113530630191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531853562085611326.post-17491621615046568232010-11-29T14:48:29.545-05:002010-11-29T14:48:29.545-05:00we do the same things you do (except the dishes th...we do the same things you do (except the dishes thing - i may have to tell Scot about that one!), and our traditions are more centered about what foods are made. having grown up in a military family, when i think Thanksgiving I think friends, going around the table and saying what we're thankful for, and a very specific menu! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604090262846744447noreply@blogger.com
