Having Kyle has made me about 8,533 times more excited for the holidays than last year. I know he's still young and probably won't have a clue what's going on, but everything is just going to be more fun with him around. Brian & I even bought his big Santa gift already!
I wanted to make a Christmas bucket list so I don't forget all of the festive things I want to do this year, so here goes:
- Pick out the perfect tree & decorate as a fam.
- Get a special ornament for Kyle's 1st Christmas.
- Send out photo Christmas cards with personal notes on the back.
Figure out a cute way to display the Christmas cards we receive.Put up our outdoor lights soon after Thanksgiving... (last year they went up less than a week before Christmas, hilarious!)- Find the best neighborhoods to drive around and look at lights.
- Don't wait until Christmas Eve to do my shopping (like I do almost every year!)
- Take Kyle to go see Santa.
- Take Penny to go see Santa at PetSmart.
- Make a festive holiday breakfast for Brian.
- Make peppermint hot chocolate with marshmallows.
- Invite my niece and nephew over to decorate Christmas cookies.
Buy cute stockings! (Need to get on this one ASAP)- Make a new Christmas playlist, with lots of new Kelly Clarkson songs and give copies to my friends :)
- Schedule dates with friends.
- Practice silent night on the piano and have it perfected by Christmas morning.
- Get one new decoration for our house that I LOVE!
Continue our annual tradition (me & my sis) of taking the kids to Breakfast with Santa.- Hang mistletoe in our kitchen.
- Watch tons & tons of Christmas movies.
- Read Christmas books to Kyle.
- Surprise someone with an unexpected gift.
Buy Kyle Christmas jammies.
