Ooohhhhh... I like your idea about the new pots and pans!! I am getting to where I need some larger ones for my family. Good job on knowing the reindeer. We love your tradition idea... I told Dan about it (well, I guess many have that tradition)... and we want to implement it with our children, about the new PJ's on Christmas Eve. I love that you like to leave it up! It is sad every year to take it down, huh? Loved reading your answers!!
Uh oh... Silverdale was me, Jenny. I guess Dan was logged in with his work name when I left that comment. Sorry!
Its okay...you are funny..you did an excellent job on the kiddos faces last night.
