Every Christmas we go to my aunt Joy's house. She dresses up every year like Mrs. Clause and her brother Sid sets up a village that takes up the whole entire room. It is so amazing. There is so many things to look at. From a battle field to a fire at a house. This was Clancy's first year to go and it was really sad because aunt Joy's outfit scared him to death. Every time she tried to hold him he would start crying. It was sad but totally funny at the same time. She also has a variety of lights and different decorations outside and inside her house. She is so cute and it was seeing Sid and Jeanette. I am so grateful to have such an amazing extended family. I can't imagine not being around all of my family.
Another Christmas tradition is going to the tumbleweed Christmas Tree. If you never been you should totally go. It is totally amazing. It is a Christmas tree made out of tons of tumbleweeds that are spray painted together with lights put on it. Don't worry it has flame retardant paint on it so it won't burst into flames. We gather as a family with all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings and play hide and go seek for a while and then this year instead of red rover we played missionary tag. It was so fun. Then we went to my grandma's house and ate goodies and hot chocolate.
