Finding Contentment

Hello.
How are you?
It's been a while.
I thought it might be.

We are totally moved, why is it so hard to get the last load of random items? Mike and my dad got the last bit of junk. We are maybe 3/4 of the way unpacked. I have found most things we need. Still missing items, but they'll turn up.

On Thanksgiving we always go around and say what we are thankful for. I have so many things to say. I remember when my aunt said she was thankful that kids went to bed at night. As I was a kid at the time I didn't understand, but man do I now. This Thursday will be the first time that all of my dad's family will be together in years.

I am looking forward to the holidays. I was telling Mike's family today that I just realized to me that it's the holiday and it D's first holiday. So I want to know your family traditions. Here are two of ours:

1. Mike and I always have Pillsbury Orange Rolls on Christmas morning. It's a good, simple tradition.
2. My Grandpa Huff grew up in the depression, to remind us of that, my dad has always given us a quarter and an orange in our stocking.

We plan on keeping those traditions. We are going to start a something with an advent calender along with our family prayer time. Any suggestions? What are some other traditions we should take up? Post or email and let me know!
