Grandma Marjorie and "GranDee" joined us for Grandparents' Day at Arnold's Teensy Tots class at Calvary (Brad and Rick were both in New Orleans/Baton Rouge for Ole Miss/LSU). They were with us for this event for Emma Claire, too, a couple of years ago. How lucky Arnold and Emma Claire are to know Marjorie. The topic was "Holiday Traditions". We talked about what traditions we had growing up and about how traditions are important. We also made a "memory box" for Arnold.As a family, we are still establishing traditions of our own. One, thus far, has been making the annual drive South for Christmas. We celebrate Thanksgiving with the Kadues'. My happiest traditions growing up were: the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, picking out the tree the day after Thanksgiving and decorating it the following Sunday, opening a "few" presents on Christmas Eve, moving the kitchen table to make room for Santa presents (3 chairs on my side and 3 on Greta's). It will be fun to see what develops for our family over the years.
