Our new Christmas traditions!

Well this being our first Christmas in Chuck town we decided to start some new traditions.  The first one is that Santa brought us an Elf on the shelf whom we named Kevin Six.  He bounced around our house watching over us and causing mischief during the month of December.  The second tradition that we started was that we will visit the James Island Park for the Festival of Lights sometime during the Christmas season.  Hopefully next time we go we won't have to wait an hour to get in.  There were so many lights there you could drive through three or more times and find something new every time.  I really enjoyed it and the kids did too!  Last but definitely not least!!  We will be going to the beach on Christmas Eve every year to take pictures of the kids.  Pixie really enjoyed sitting in her Bumbo chair looking around!  I think I took over 500 pictures.  As soon as I can figure out how to add pictures I will post some.  We also flew a kite while we were at the beach.   Beanie really liked running around and playing in the sand.  Peanut liked flying the kite and having running races with Beanie.  All in all I think these are some awesome traditions!  I also want to start taking a hand print or foot print of the kids every Christmas season to see how much the kids have grown over the years.  I think it will be fun to compare the sizes over the years.  What are some Christmas traditions that your families have?
