This is my second attempt at the Cosmo Cricket Challenge. My first one fell a little short of the requirements.

The photo is one of my favorites, but it's always been too small to do anything with, so I scanned it and enlarged it for this page. It was taken at my in-laws house on Christmas Eve, 1995.

While our daughters were growing up, we spent every Christmas Eve with my DH's parents, going to the candlelight Christmas Eve service at their huge church in downtown Tulsa.

After the service, we always drove through the neighborhoods in Tulsa, admiring all the Christmas lights and singing Christmas Carols. Then we'd drive home, welcoming Christmas in the quiet dark hours of the night between my in-laws house and our own, while our girls slept in the backseat of our car.

This is the first year that neither of our daughters will be home for Christmas - it'll just be DH and me - and I'm not sure what part of our Christmas Eve traditions we'll choose to keep, or whether or not we'll make new ones that don't include our daughters.

But I wanted to create a page of old and new, so I left the red photo mats open for pictures from my girls. They will be sending me one from their own family celebrations this year, and that way, I can expand this page to include the next generation's traditions.
