Third Birthday Letters
(Please ignore the bruise under his left eye he got that when I was out of town, no one is 100% sure what happened.)

Christmas Traditions
When Aaron and I got married we decided that we would wait until we had kids to set any solid Christmas traditions, so last year Aaron and I had our first opportunity to start our own family traditions for Christmas! We decided to start small and work our way up. We talked a lot about these “small” traditions (we started talking about them on the way to Korea last year) and came up with this list: Make Christmas cookies with both Grandmas (both already did this with their other grandkids) Spend at least an evening if not a whole day in November and December giving back (we hope to find something to do every month eventually) The kids will get 4 gifts total from mommy and daddy (next year we have to come … Read entire article »
