Christmas bucket list

There are so many fun Christmas activities I want to do so I came up with a Christmas Bucket list for this year. I know we will probably not get to do all the things I want but at least now I have something to keep me on task. Which is not easy as my mind goes 100 miles and hour and in every direction possible. So here it is:

Christmas 2012 Bucket List

1. Lego Advent- the boys love legos and look forward to building a new piece each day. They take turns each day.

2. Truth in the Tinsel


I am excited about this and looking forward to doing this with the kids. Owen and I went out last night to pick up the some supplies for the crafts and I hope to get them all organized by Friday. I plan on posting more on this once I get it all set up.

3. Why do we call it Christmas

I hope this explains to the kids the real reason behind Christmas.

4. Bass Pro Shops to visit Santa- We have been doing this for a few years, visiting the Myrtle Beach, SC store. They have Santa, crafts, and games to play, the kids enjoy it. We have learned to go during the week and earlier in the season to keep it pleasant for everyone involved.

5. Make a Gingerbread house.- we love doing this, It makes a fun project that everyone can help on.

6. Christmas cookies- We have lots of favorites, and like to try new recipes too!

7. Mikes Farm hayride to look at the Christmas lights.

8. Arlie Gardens holiday lights- we have never been but they are suppose to have a beautiful display along with trains up and I think the kids would love it.

9. Read a new Christmas story everynight. I collected all of our Christmas books then went to the library to check out some new ones to add to our night time stories.

10. Take time to enjoy quality time with our family.

I may think of some others to add to our bucket list, but I hope this will help me at least remember what I was trying to do this year.
