A Broken Tradition

Sunday, December 7, was the First Presidency Christmas Devotional.  Tradition says that someone in our family has to be sick that day. 
Guess what.  Nobody was sick.  Everyone got to go to church and everyone was able to watch the Devotional together... and answer questions about it to earn mint M&Ms since we are continuing with that good tradition of our advent calendar in a jar. 

Last year I put a list of the scriptures we use up on this blog.

December 7 was also Cotton Candy Day.  We planned ahead and bought some cotton candy earlier in the year so we would have it ready for December.  It's nice that cotton candy lasts so long before it's opened.
Jeremy gave the kids each some cotton candy in individual containers.  None of them finished it so they each asked for lids.  Jeremy of course labeled them so they would know who each belonged to.

 

He labeled them all "Daddy's Cotton Candy."  

The kids were unhappy about this at first until Jeremy pointed out that he drew little pictures representing each child so they really could tell who they belonged to.

Silly Daddy.

I'm really okay that we broke tradition this year and all felt well on Sunday.  I'd rather have the good traditions than the bad.
