{Before and After}

Our family has a really fun tradition of a pinata on Christmas Eve.  This tradition started when I was a little girl, and my dad's sales territory included a little Mom/Pop store in LA.  It happened to be very close to Christmas and they gave him a pinata.  We cracked it open Christmas eve and the tradition was born!  As a child, I loved the pinata on Christmas eve!  I could not imagine Christmas with out one.  I really looked forward to it every year. 
My kids have loved this tradition too!

This year Richard and I were in Walmart and we saw a left over Halloween pinata for $2.  We were like SCORE!  Cheap pinata.  Rebekah was not impressed with our shopping.  She thought otherwise of our purchase.  She could not bear the thought of a Monster pinata, so...

After...She turned it into an adorable Snowman!  Way to go Rebekah!!

My family has the same tradition! Except we always made the pinata with my mom, she painted a Santa Claus face and then we would curl strips of paper for his beard. I love it. :o)
