I was asked to speak at MOPS this morning on the traditions that our family does. It was such a privilege to be asked to do that.

I love all the traditions! Since having kids of our own, DJ and I have been starting our own family traditions. Some have even been passed down from when we were kids. Just love all the family time you get with traditions!
Ok I was looking at some older post and I saw one of your traditions and it was: Black Friday Shopping. OHMYGOSH! Is it fun? I've always wanted to go but recently (After a woman sprayed sprayer everywhere) I've been slightly nervous about shopping on Black Friday.
