so! to make this holiday extra special, i decided to try out a little thing called “12 days of christmas loving.” the idea is that jon gets 12 gifts for christmas, but in a patterned way: on december 12th (the first day) he gets 1 gift, on december 13th (the second day) he gets 2 gifts, and so forth, until the final and twelfth day, december 25th, when he gets 12 gifts. how fun does this sound?
i also made my sweetheart commit to building a gingerbread house:
a winter photo shoot:
And a couple other things that I consider my favorite holiday activities:
- Ice skating
- Chop a Christmas tree
- Sledding
- Dog sledding
- Cross country skiing
- Snow mobilig
- Ice fishing
- Snow shoeing
- Build a snowman
- Go mistletoe picking
- Make ornament from tree trunk
- Build a snow fort
- Winter picnic with little candles
- Zoo lights
- Day after thanksgiving shopping
- Write Christmas cards
- Adopt a family
Needless to say, we’ve been busy…
Happy holidays!!
