The holidays are right around the corner... I am looking for some neat family traditions. At the beginning of each month I will post this "Holiday Traditions?... Help!" If you would leave a comment on my blog or post something cool on your own blog if you have one, I would really appreciate hearing some of your ideas, neat memories you have of family traditions while growing up, things you have done with your own families, heard of friends doing... etc. (Traditions, and ideas having to do with the holiday that falls during that particular month).
(My daughter) Ashlii's mother in law makes sure that the "Great Pumpkin" comes to visit each of her grandchildren every year. The Great Pumpkin leaves a fun Halloween surprise on the front porch of each child's home. He leaves it during the beginning of the month of October so it gives them time to enjoy it and helps them get excited about the upcoming Halloween holiday. Sophie and Rubie each received a cute little Halloween outfit and some other fun things as well. You could go very big with this, or very simple! I love this idea! So do the kids! Alot of the kids in my home daycare think it is so cool that the Great Pumpkin came to Sophie's house. Unfortunately.. they are also wondering why he hasn't come to visit them as well? Needless to say, it has started a new tradition in many of their own homes too.
Ashlii and Amanda, if you would help me out by posting something similar to this on your blogs or sending people to my blog... I don't have as many visitors to my blog as you both do! I am really excited about getting some fun ideas! Thanks for your help girls! Mom

I'll have to really think about this one and get back to you.
By the way LOVE the Great Pumpkin idea!
hey mom... you spelled "allot" wrong.. its "alot". :)
OK - I have done as you asked. I posted the request we shall see what comes in. I have noticed people from all over the country like to look at my blog but don't ever say anything. Go figure. Anyway I'll keep ya posted. Or you can just check it yourself. DId you know there is a spell check in the posting section that you can run before you post?? Could help. XO your preferred daughter
Great idea! I don't have "halloween" traditions...so I'd love to hear some. Pretty much, we just do halloween cause we have to. Beck's alllergic to all the candy, and Gibson's bday is the day before, so I get burnt out. But, TG and Christmas, I'll post some for you. :)
You girls are soooo rude! I spelled it "alot", when I did my spell check it said it was wrong! I let it correct... it did so with "allot" I am not that stupid... the computer is! Amanda said it is 2 words then "a lot?" Thanks ladies!
Mom
Yeah I don't have any traditions, but wanted to tell you that you are too cute! Your kids are beautiful and you are such a darling mom and grandma! I love looking at your blog so keep it up! Much love,
Michelle
Did Ashlii really refer to herself as your 'prefered daughter'? Is that a nice way of her saying she is your favorite? Well everyone has to have a favorite..... I do. Thanks for visiting my blog.
