Speaking of Family Traditions

Every Year, Allen and I attempt to uphold a family tradition we started in 2005. Our Christmas Vacation includes a trip to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. There is nothing like the excitement and bewildered looks on a childs face when they begin the walk into the park. Young and old alike, there is just something special about the feeling you get when you see the park all decorated in Christmas lights, wreaths and other decorations. When it snows on Main Street near the end of the evening,  and who can pass up the haunted mansion decked out in the Nightmare before Christmas! This tradition was born from our oldest sons wishes when he was turning six. His birthday is November 28th. Everyone around us is busy with their own families at Christmas time and no one would show at his birthday parties. We decided to turn things around for him and surprised him Christmas morning 2005. He woke up in a hotel in Disneyland.  This year we were accompanied by our oldest daughter, her husband and our one year old grandson. It made the days spent there even more special. What is your family tradition?  How did your tradition begin? Family is important. We Love Ours!
