This is our first Christmas as a family of three so we are working on defining our special family traditions. We try to squeeze in as many special things as we can and have really enjoyed the past few weeks. Here are the ways that we make the holidays feel extra special at our house:
Kevin's favorite traditions are:
Getting a real tree together
"Spending time with my girls"
Hot chocolate walks to look at Christmas lights

My favorite traditions are:

Making & sending out our Christmas cards
Displaying the Christmas cards we get from family & friends

Baking and making holiday goodies

Making ornaments - framing a favorite picture from the year that captures a big highlight to add to our tree. This is ours for 2013 - Olive joined our family in May!!
Looks like your little one is having fun! She is precious. We have been trying to squeeze in lots this year too. I'm seeing Christmas through a toddler's eyes this year - so fun! Visiting from Kelly's Korner. Have a blessed Christmas!
