Emily's project this month was to make a family "banner" of sorts to show the traditions that our family enjoys during the holiday season.Remember that family projects are supposed to include everyone, well it did this month.
Everyone traced and cut out their own hands, and on their left hand wrote their name and age, (except mom and dad) and on their right hand wrote their favorite tradition.
It is hard to read from the picture, (it was too big to scan) but every one's favorite tradition in our house is going to the Zoo Lights!!
We have been going to Zoo Lights since Jordan could barely walk. That is 12 years!!
HOLY COW!!
It is truly the best thing that we do together this time of year.
I love the way our "banner" turned out. It resembles a Christmas Tree built from our hands.
Just the way our family has been built from a small flimsy 3' pathetic 'charlie brown' tree when Todd and I first married, with NO decorations, to the beautiful 7' pre-lit covered with hand-made, child-like memories from each of my babies. Nothing matches, but each one special.
When my babies leave me to be on their own, you can bet that their tree will not be bare. Their ornaments will go with them to share with their families, on their trees. Hopefully we will be able to go to Zoo Lights still and keep our favorite family traditions going.
