To get into the spirit of the season we did a few different activities as a family with the hopes of them becoming yearly traditions. Here's a quick look at our season:
The obligatory visit with Santa. This is as close to sitting on his lap as we got this year.
Liv was more of a fan from afar.
Olivia loved all the lights around town, so we packed into the car for a trip to Longwood Gardens to see their fabulous, annual light display. Evidently tickets needed to be bought in advance this year, I didn't know that.
Mom fail.
Instead we headed to this house in town, that does it up like nothing else I've seen. Olivia loved every second of it.
In reality it was much better suited for her than Longwood would have been.
And I used to go there every year as a kid.
Liv and I baked lots and lots of cookies. She absolutely adored helping me.
I absolutely adored baking the same cookies with her that I grew up baking with my mom.
Every year Chris and his family come over and we make pizzelles from his Mommom's recipe.
This year Livvy got in on the action.
I had such grand intentions of doing so much more this year, but as life goes, it didn't all get done. Oh well there's always next year!
