About Me
My name is Tami and I live in central Illinois with my husband, Larry and three children, Caleb (8), Camden (7) and Emma (4). I hope you'll enjoy reading about my life as a wife/mother and about our family's adventures. What I’m Reading
Christmas 2008
This was my favorite Christmas to date with our family. The boys were so excited about everything this year. It is becoming so much more fun as they get older.
The boys and I did one of our annual Christmas Eve day traditions – decorating cookies for Santa.
They had fun decorating their plates of cookies and then got to eat one. The best part of cookie decorating.
After going to our church Christmas Eve service, we do another tradition – looking at Christmas lights. After we got home, the kids put out the cookies and milk for Santa. They also got to put on their new Christmas pajamas and we then read The Night Before Christmas. After that the kids were out like a light.
In our family, no gifts go under the tree until after the kids are in bed on Christmas Eve. Mostly, because of the toddler who would do too much damage. Larry and I then get to do our favorite tradition – watching Christmas Vacation. We still laugh everytime we watch this movie.
Christmas morning did not disappoint for the kids. They were so excited for their presents.
After breakfast and some playtime with our new toys, we headed to the grandparents for more Christmas fun and dinner. We then got home to play some more and then crashed into bed.
