I absolutely LOVE the Christmas season. To me, Christmas is more about spending time with family than it is about presents. I love traditions that create lasting memories and bring us all together.
I’ve been really trying to simply the girls’ toys and provide them with things that will allow them to use their imagination, and things that they will enjoy playing with for a long time. I’ve noticed that some of the gifts that they get the most excited about when they open them are the same toys that sit untouched weeks later because they quickly lose their appeal.
One of our favorite Christmas traditions is getting a new Christmas books for the girls each year. Hazel is eagerly awaiting the day we bring down our Christmas books this year, and I know both girls will be super excited to get a brand new, never read before, Christmas book! I’m having the hardest time picking out which books I want to get the girl this year–I read several when we were at the book store a couple weeks ago and they were all so cute!
Paper
Glue
Leaves
Scissors (optional)
The girls love going on walk and collecting “tiny perfect things”, so I try to come up with crafts we can do with the things they collect. For this craft, we went on a leaf hunt around the neighborhood to find as many different colored leave as we could.
