Independence Day, we go to the amusement park, and watch the fireworks show. Easter, I go see my precious great nephew, and take him a bunch of goodies. Thanksgiving, we go to my sister in-law's for dinner, and then, go to Eddie's parents for dessert. Christmas, we go to my sister in-law's for dinner, and to exchange gifts, then, we go to Eddie's parents, for dessert, and to exchange gifts.

I liked all of your traditions. We celebrate our children and grandchildren's birthday when we are able to be with them. Most of my grandchildren live away from us. We always call them on their birthday and send them a card and a little money. I have 32 grandchildren so we can't afford to do much for them.
We usually always go out to dinner for our birthdays and sometimes a movie.
We always have a Christmas family party with all the children that can come. We have a Nativity program with music and scriptures from the New Testament nativity story. The littlest children portray the Nativity. This is my favorite holiday.
Thanks for sharing what you do; I loved it all. Love and hugs sweet friend.
Enjoyed your day book entry today. So glad you are learning to put yourself first now and then my friend. I'm also glad you will continue with "project me". The quote you've used today is fabulous. We have so many seconds in a day and we should remember to say "Thank you, God" in at least one of them. Hugs. xx
