We crammed a lot of fun into the week before Christmas, and really the entire month of December! We carried on traditions and also introduced some new fun into the mix! The Miller kids love their Christmas traditions and it sure does make my heart so happy to see their excitement when we do each tradition every year! I can only hope these traditions continue on for years to come and then some are passed down!
After an evening of basketball we walked through Edmond's Illuminance lights
We ended that evening with our annual sleepover in the living room. This is by far the favorite tradition for all 5 Millers! We watched Christmas movies, ate popcorn/made smores, had a fire going and slept with the lights of the Christmas tree and mantle glistening all night long! The best night with so many memories made! This is a tradition Tyler and I started pre kids and we were so happy to start included them!
This cutie practiced lots of basketball in his Santa hat and reindeer antlers! Mason sure does love everything about Christmas!
We had a last minute fun surprise for our neighborhood! It was a Christmas laser light show to Christmas music! So much fun and such a different activity for the holiday season! It was like looking at Christmas lights and Christmas caroling all in one!
Harper and I have always enjoyed Christmas pedicures. This year I asked the boys to join in on our fun! This was their first pedicure and they are now hooked!
For the past three years we delivered Christmas meals to families in need on Christmas Eve Eve through the Dinner with Love program! I was worried this wouldn't happen with Covid but so thankful it did! There are more families in need than ever and we were more than happy to help! After our deliveries we decided as a family to stop at McDonalds and buy additional dinners for the homeless. It was an extremely cold and windy evening and we knew there were plenty of people that were in need of a HOT dinner! We made our rounds and then went back to McDonalds for more. It was heartbreaking to see so many homeless within our community. We barely made a dent but we were happy to help as we could. We left heartbroken but it was a good reminder for our kids, going into Christmas, how fortunate we are and that we can always help others!
After we had a warm pizza dinner of our own at our favorite place, Empire Slice! Tripp, the kids North Pole Elf, joined our evening fun!
