Sorry!

This is becoming my online filing system of sorts. Oh well, it's my blog, right?
I know we need to get TONS of pictures up here because the little shorties who live here are getting SO big. And darn cute. And SMART. (and...all sorts of other nice and naughty things).

We'll have to make sure they hear from Santa (http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/home) so we can play up the NICE.

But, I digress, actually began this post to document an idea I love from Family Fun Magazine. They have a Family Traditions column, and I love the idea of Our Own Family Holiday. The featured family includes events such as:
* Kids vs. Parents competitions (think FearFactor-ish digging for jellybean "bugs" in oatmeal, or bobbing for malted milk ball "cow eyes" in chocolate pudding pies.)
* Kids-pick-the-food menu (donuts or French toast for breakfast, out for lunch?, homemade favorite for dinner)
* Hand-crafted cards made a couple of days ahead of time with supplies on-hand
* Small gifts for the kids, family t-shirts
