Christmas Treats

I love this time of year! So full of traditions, some we are passing down and others we are creating for our own family.

Growing up, my mom and dad always bought Conner and me a pomegranate. They were a special treat and we looked forward to cracking them open and enjoying the little red jewels inside. When Mimi was here, she bought Griffin his first pomegranate to enjoy, and he loved it!

A few days ago Griffin got a very special letter in the mail, from Santa himself!!! He loved opening the envelope and I read him the letter. It's so fun to see him learn about Santa and see the excitement on his face every time he sees a Santa. He also says, "Ho Ho Ho" in the cutest little voice!

Last Saturday morning we enjoyed gingerbread pancakes for breakfast. Griffin ate three whole pancakes so I have a feeling this is a tradition that will stick in our family!
