My Favorite Leeper Christmas Tradition

Every year before Christmas we all get dressed up in our Christmas best(the best we can do at least) and go out to dinner with just our family. This year we went to the Ritz...very nice...and enjoyed the evening together with all the beautiful decorations and the festive feel of the evening. But, my favorite part is something we started when the boys were very young. Everyone at the table affirms everyone else. It always brings tears to my eyes as we go around the table to compliment successes and character traits that we see in each other. It brings us close to each other and reminds us of all that God has blessed us with. And we added a family member this year...Nikki was with us too! It was a night to remember!
