Traditions, I believe are every changing.

This year for the first time every Dad and I met Stephen and Brent for a lovely dinner at the Capital Grille on the Plaza in Kansas City. We had the option to eat off the menu or have the traditional meal. We opted for the traditional meal. Ah, to eat, visit and relax leaving the cooking and cleaning to others. It was a nice break from the "tradition" of cleaning, slaving over a hot stove, worry about having enough, cleaning, Oh cleaning is in there twice.....
Friday, Chris and his family have a tradition of going out to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.
After eating a huge breakfast, like we hadn't gorged the day before, off they go the Christmas tree farm to get the holiday tree.
Okay so before we get to the Christmas tree farm we make a tiny stop..... Yummo!
Then we are off the next stop. Oh the choices they have. Is it this one? Is it that one?
Finally one is chosen.
Ah, tradition it is what brings family together once they are grown and out on their own. Eating, watching a game, choosing new ornaments or picking the tree. Got to love traditions. Let's keep the old ones adding new ones as we change and grow. Most of all remember it is all about family.
