ALL IN THE FAMILY

Every year we go to Tennessee in the Summer

We stop at Corkys BBQ in Memphis on our way to Nashville for dinner.

In Nashville, we visit the Grand Ole Opry. We are Magic Springs Season ticket holders

and go LOTS each summer. BASEBALL is another family tradition and it

keeps us travelling and making memories as a family.

Family Traditions

Holidays are a time to celebrate with our friends and family.

Traditions my family has created over the years;◦ A. Before Thanksgiving Dinner we all stand in a circle

and tell what we are thankful for that year.◦ B. Christmas Eve all the kids get together and make

some type of craft and snack for Santa. The idea and supplies comes from my Aunt Liz and it’s always so much fun.

◦ C. Christmas Eve is also when we get to open and wear our brand new pajamas and read Twas the Night Before Christmas.

HOLIDAYS

We are citizens of The USA WE love the fact that our government

embodies Liberty, Equality, Democracy, Unity, and Diversity.

Each election year we watch the debates and press conferences as a family.

In 2008 we watched as Barack Obama made history by becoming the first African American to become the President of The United States.

Government
