Holiday Bucket List

Written By Kara Niekamp

A little over 5 years into this parenting gig and every year I hope to create and build holiday traditions for our family. We never travel over Christmas. It is important to me that the kiddo’s wake up at home on Christmas morning. Traditionally, we travel to AZ the week after Christmas for a bit of a break and reset for the upcoming year.

Yes, there may be a pandemic going on, but we are still going to enjoy the MAGIC of the season. I wanted to share with you our Holiday Bucket List that I created this year! I like to keep it simple enough so we can knock off all the items but also fun to keep the excitement of the season alive!

We are about 1/3 through our list with lots of time to go! I would love to hear in the comments what some of your favorite holiday traditions are!

Everything around the holidays is more fun with kids. Grace (almost 3) and Logan (5) love doing crafts. Grace and I did this Christmas Tree Ornament craft this past week while Logan was doing E learning. We both had a blast and it kept Grace engaged for almost an hour! I got all my supplies at Hobby Lobby!

What do you need:

  • Popsicle sticks

  • Glue ( glue gun works best)

  • Paint/or markers

  • Pom Poms

  • Pipe Cleaners

  • String

Happy Holiday Season Friends! I hope you are able to relax and enjoy the next couple of weeks!
