i love tradition. for a long time now, i've wanted to hone in on distinct holiday traditions for our family. the boys are still little though, and this is one of our first christmases where we've been settled. we do little things that many do...pj's on christmas eve, advent wreath and advent calendars, sugar cookies and, of course, the polar express only comes out at this time of year. but, i'd like to add some truly unique, distinctly easterhaus, super fun traditions!
this year we added the GIANT COLORING BOOK!!! on christmas day, after all the presents are done and the day is lazy, we'll color a page and watch the coloring progress through the years.
after the pages were splashed with the boys imagination, we talked about all of the big things we did in 2009 while jon wrote them on the pages. it was so fun to try and remember everything and remind the boys of the adventure God took us on this year.

our hope is to be able to once a year look back on all of the things we've been through together.

What adorable boys you have! They are just precious.
I LOVED big coloring books as a kid! I didn't know they still made them :) Oh, and btw....I used to have a cat named Asher. Love that name!
Oh, I am just going to have to steal that coloring book idea! I love it.
Great idea! I LOVED your Christams card/announcement!
