Holiday Traditions

We have many traditions in the Marshall household. Some have been going on for many years, others just a few. One of our very favorite traditions is getting to open one gift on Christmas Eve, this gift is always pajamas. The pajamas we get are what we wear that night, and of course, they always match....so that on Christmas morning, all three of us match! :] Of course we follow the basic traditions, leaving cookies for Santa, writing Christmas cards, taking family photos, etc. One of our most recent traditions started about 3 years ago. All of us go out a few days before we decorate our Christmas tree, and we all pick out a new ornament. Our ornmanet always matches our personality, and is always colorful and fun! Makayla always seems to get ones that are animal related (leopard print, furry, etc.), Haylee always gets ones that are old and antique looking (keys, nutcrackers, soldiers, etc.), my mom always gets one that is very unique and beautiful, my dad either gets one that represents him being the man of the house (crown, king, etc.) or a football ornament (Dallas Cowboys, of course), and I always get one that is very bright and fun (lots of bright colors, fun shapes, etc.) Bryan has also joined in on the tradition the past two years, and his always seem to match mine. I think thats pretty cute ;]  The picture is of my ornament from this year!
