Settle Tradition


I love Christmas traditions, so it's a good thing us Settle's (Settle being my maiden name) have several of them! A personal favorite of mine (and my moms) is going to look at Christmas lights. Usually we go on Christmas Eve which we will still do, but this past weekend we decided to go look a little early. You may think going to look at Christmas lights doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but that is because you don't do it the Settle way. You load everyone up get a barrel of popcorn, make hot chocolate for the road and of course put in some Christmas CD's. Every year we have a blast. Although, we are going to have to invest in a bigger car soon. Shawn and I's family is growing so quickly that we aren't all going to fit in one car next year!! Maybe we'll rent a limo next year. hmmmm. In case you live close by - we went to the light show at Long View Lake in Lee's Summit. It was awesome (and free!). The kids loved it, as did the adults. Christmas Eve we will be visiting the ever popular Candy Cane Lane and of course the famous-out-of-control penguin house. (let me know if you need directions - quite a site!!)

Well, I must get to wrapping some presents or at least taking a nap. I hope this post finds you all relaxed and ready for the big weekend!


Go have the time of your life!
