What is Your Favorite Holiday Tradition and Why?

My favorite holiday tradition is getting together with the family. Every time we are planning the get together we talk about playing cards or other games but more times then not we just talk the day away while the kids play.

I LOVE getting together on the holidays wither it be with just my husband and kids or with my parents and siblings or my in-laws. Family always makes the holidays.

What is Your Favorite Day of the Week and Why?

Question for this week. My favorite day of the week is Sunday. Not because I get to fight with all my kids during Sacrament Meeting or that Lyle doesn't get home until after 3pm. I enjoy Sunday because when everyone finally does get home from church we usually don't have anywhere to go and we are able to spend time as a family. It is very rare for Lyle to work on Sunday and we spend the time watching a movie and eating popcorn. I have a picture of every one of my children sharing a bowl of popcorn with their dad. He starts them young by eating the rough part and giving them the soft part to gum when then are just a couple of months old. The kids look forward to this every week.

What was your Favorite book to read as a child?

Some friends and I are doing a little journal writing on our blogs. One of us asks a question and everyone else needs to reply on their blogs.

The question this week is "What was your favorite book to read as a child?" I was a HUGE Judy Blume fan. Any and all of her books I would read. When I was smaller I loved "The Monster at the End of This Book" I still enjoy reading that book to my own kids. Its so cute to hear William say "You turned another page!"
