Last week Shannon came over to take family photos with my two JBT’s + Lola.  And the result is me wanting to plaster these all over our home and in my holiday card (: 

Tuck was sick for the first time in almost 10 months last week so it slowed down some Holiday celebrations but JB and I did have time to make our Christmas bucket list.  

Here it goes:

Watch The Grinch who Stole Christmas (as a family) & The Holiday (with just us)

Go ride the polar express – we have a vintage train that does that near us.  

get a photo with santa

read our scriptures and honor advent – following these scriptures.

give to a family who needs it anonymously.  growing up we did this; it’s really that sort of thing that leaves a mark you remember every Christmas, even as an adult.

bake christmas cookies

make a gingerbread house

go caroling

put wreaths on all of our front windows

hot cocoa and apple cider, please!

pick out the perfect tree and decorate it

lots of christmas music

put lola’s elf costume on #humiliated

What’s on your Christmas bucket list?

I’d love to add a few more (:
