My favorite time of year is here, and I am LOVING everything about it. My husband and I are having the best time with our toddler. This year feels extra magical experiencing everything through his eyes! It is so fun to watch him take it all in. We have started our family advent calendar (Advent Calendar 2019) and it made me think of the traditions we already have in place. I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite traditions we have as a family, as well as our favorites from growing up (we alternate holidays with our immediate families). I would love to know any that are special to you!
