Traditions

I'm not very good at starting and keeping traditions - something I would like to change.  One tradition that Ryan and I have kept for 5 years though, and that I am very sad to be giving up, is going to the D.C. Temple lights every year.  We started when we were dating and have gone every year since.  That's obviously not something we can really do in Texas...sadNESS.  I'll have to think of new Texasy Christmas traditions. 

We've also documented this little tradition of ours.  Proof:

2007: Dating.  We look like little babies.

2008: Married and living in D.C.

2009: Married and living in Charlottesville (also notice - wearing the exact same outerwear as year before)

2010: Married and living in Charlottesville (picture taken on camera phone - but still works!)

2011: Married, living in Charlottesville, Baby B on the way

If you're ever in D.C. around Christmas time...GO!  I wrote about it here.  It is awesome - lights (obviously), creches, beautiful trees, concerts, and of course the temple.

So here is one of my first goodbyes before we move.  Leaving Virginia is not going to be easy.
