    Traditions

    Does your family have traditions around the holidays? My family…. (picture above at the Liebro household – Thanks so much for having us over Christmas Eve. It was a great party.) Meet Mom and Dad. In our family there are certain traditions that we do during the Christmas season and have ever since I can remember and I thought that it would be nice to share them with you all.. We (mostly my mom) spend countless hours decorating every inch of the house with Santa figurines, stockings., and Christmas trees. Everywhere you look there is another little something that just oozes Christmas cheer. Along with the decorating my mom and…
