Blended Families: 12 Days of Christmas

AWC >Blended Families > 12 Days of Christmas

The kids are arriving tomorrow!   Since the kids are leaving on Dec 31st, we didn't want them to have to wait until the 25th to open all their gifts. That would give them 5 days with their new stuff. This year we are doing the 12 Days of Christmas. Everyday will be Christmas Morning with a gift under the tree ;) 

As a blended Army family the only tradition is that we make a new one each year. We adapt our celebrations to what works for us.  What new tradition/s are you starting this year?

    Our kids are here every 3 months for 10 days to 5 weeks at a time.  After the first couple visits of them toting luggage back and forth, we decided we would buy clothes for them here.  There are a few reasons why:

• Not having to wait that extra time in the airport for the luggage
• No luggage fees with the airline
• Don't have to have a conversation with Mom about what clothes to send and why
• Not being dissapointed with the clothes mom sent
• Mom not being upset with the way we returned their clothes
