This is the final week of the Dare to DIY Party that Kim is hosting over at the NewlyWoodwards. This week is titled - Dare to Have Traditions and if there is something my family does at Christmas, its traditions! From Chinese food and Game Night on Christmas Eve (after attending a candlelit service) and shopping for our real tree (both of which I talked about last year) we are sticklers for our traditions which have only multiplied since our family traditions merged. The tradition that I want to share here though is that on every trip we take, we pick up a Christmas ornament or two and enjoy decorating the tree while remembering our vacation - here are some of the ornaments we've acquired over the last few years!
Winter 2008 - Oahu, Big Island and Kauai, Hawaii
Spring 2008 - Tucson, Grand Canyon and Sedona, Arizona
Summer 2008 - Bar Harbor, Maine
Winter 2009 - San Francisco, California
Winter 2010 - Acapulco, Mexico
Summer 2010 - Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
Oh - and by the way - we still haven't settled on a game for Christmas eve this year so recommendations would be very welcome. We are thinking of options like Taboo, Rook... What's your favorite game?

Is it easy to find ornaments all year round? I vote for the train game!
First of all, I just have to say that I'm super-jealous of all the trips you've taken! Second of all, I think that is such a great idea for a keepsake from your travels!
I love this tradition. We have been doing this, too. It's fun to remember.
