Holiday Bucket List

Thanksgiving week is here, and I am ready for the holiday season to begin! The bigger my littles become, the more fun I think the holidays are, and I am very excited about doing many fun holiday things. I made a little holiday bucket list, so that I would not forget something in the holiday bustle. (Last year, I forgot that I had already bought Christmas cards the year before on sale...what a happy surprise this year to find them.) And so, here it is...

----------

Dmitri's holiday cards that he has been working so hard on creating!

Fun with roving!

Caroline’s Holiday Bucket List

-Make homemade hot cocoa (and it was so easy and delicious, we have made it twice this week!)

-Brown paper packages tied up with string (I think I might try reusing paper grocery bags).

-Make a felt ball garland

-Watch a Christmas movie with the family

-Make a snowman pizza (Damon will love picking the olives off. His favorite!)

-Apple. Cider.

-Hang a star in the window

-Make a Christmas card book for the kids to look through aswe receive cards

-Mail Christmas cards to friends and family

-Hang a holiday wreath

-Sugar cookies. A Christmas tradition. (I use this recipe).

-Paint snowflake art

-Create snow globes with Dmitri (there are a million tutorials on Pinterest)

-Put the very first present under the tree the day we get our Christmas tree  (The book: Mr. Willoughby’s Christmas Tree. That way, we can read it all holiday season long. And it's such a cute book.)

-Hang stockings by the fireplace

-New Christmas pajamas and a special Christmas book: our Christmas Eve tradition

-Cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas morning!

What are you excited about this holiday season? Any favorite Christmas movies you would recommend? Favorite traditions?
