This Christmas season was full of fun for us as a new family of four. Aaron and I have always talked about the traditions we want to continue from our childhood, and the new traditions we want to create for our own family. We are off to a great start!
We went to the Coronado Christmas parade, but got there too late to see it pass by on our side of Orange Avenue. Fortunately, the parade turns around and heads back on the other side. It actually worked out great because all of the crowds were dwindling down and so we had almost the entire median and parade to ourselves!
We bought a Christmas tree for our home. Reece's highlight was playing in the car while Aaron strung the tree on top. Reece loved decorating it with me... and taking the ornaments down and redecorating it himself.
Reece and I made salt-dough ornaments together.
We walked to the Hotel del Coronado to enjoy the holiday festivities and take in the Christmas spirit there.
Reece wrote a letter to Santa and delivered it to his special mailbox at the Community Center. Santa even wrote back!
And finally, we traveled to Visalia to spend Christmas with family.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
