Oh this brings back so many great memories!!!!! =) Especially when we would stay up late playing games that we intentionally brought up because we knew we wouldn't be getting much sleep haha
Traditions make the holidays even more special! By the way, rumor has it that Granddad & Grandma have offered to leave all their Christmas lights to Dad in their will. Ha! Ha!
