It makes me so happy to celebrate holiday traditions. I love creating a sense of stability, routine, and predictability to Flannery's life, and holidays are a nice time to create that. Our annual "cookie cutter cookie" making day was yesterday, and my BFF from California was able to join us, hooray! We made my husband's aunt Sharon's recipe, and they turned out beautifully! It was sweet to see Flannery using so many baking tools -- the cookie cutters, the rolling pins, the icing set. Hopefully by the time she's out on her own, she'll be a pro and can share this tradition with her friends (and one day her own family!).  |

What holiday traditions do you keep? Which ones have you let go?
