♥ merry christmas 2010... ♥

This year we started a new family tradition of celebrating Christmas in our own home!  With our parents living far away from us we cant just hop in the car to have dinner with them and celebrate Christmas & then hop back in the car so that we can tuck Mollie into her little cozy crib on Christmas Eve!  So we started a tradition to celebrate in our own home &our family is welcome to come join us!  I think that it is special to start your own traditions & we want those for mollie too!
Mollie's letter to Santa!
