One of my favorite things about being a parent and having a family of my own is creating "Matthews Family Traditions". My daughter makes this easy because if we do something fun, by god, she remembers. We started the tradition of making caramel apples, last year. Neither her or I had made caramel apples before, but it was fun and surprisingly easy. Even last year, Kara was a great helper. She washed the apples and unwrapped the caramels with me. This year she graduated to helping me put the sticks in the apples, as well.
Oh what would I be doing without my precious Kara. I can't imagine how boring my life would be without this little girl in it.
