Christmas Bucket List 2013

Since I haven't found an advent calendar that I like, I decided that I still wanted to enjoy doing something everyday that represented the holiday season. So I created a Christmas bucket list that included activities for all of us. {Ok so I'm a little behind on tackling the list, including writing this post, but I have managed to knock a few items off our list.}



25. Start the tradition of Elf on the Shelf

Our elf, Ralphie! Funny thing is, we never find him on a shelf.

24. Get a Christmas tree

Rian's very first Christmas present under the tree!

23. Make paper snowflakes
22. Make a snowman

Ok, so I never said it had to be a real snowman! Here in Vegas, you never know when it might snow. We had a chance of snow this past weekend, but all we got were freezing temperatures!

Rory and I painted our leftover pumpkins and made our very own snowman that won't melt!

21. Create some handmade gifts
20. Decorate every room of the house for Christmas

19. Have a Christmas movie marathon, while drinking hot chocolate and eating popcorn & cookies
18. Take family holiday photos

The kiddos outfits from the photos! I can't wait to share the photos with you all. They are amazing! Ashley captured some beautiful moments.

17. Create a nativity scene activity with Rory
16. Create a Christmas-themed breakfast, lunch and dinner
15. Get all bundled up and do some Christmas shopping at Town Square
14. Make some festive food for our Christmas party with our new little friends
13. Visit Santa
12. Make hot apple cider
11. Read our collection of Christmas books
10. Random act of kindness
9. Deliver holiday goodies to friends
8. Make cookies with the kiddos
7. Donate clothes, toys and decorations
6. Decorate wrapping paper
5. Drive around and look at Christmas lights
4. Help the kids make a Christmas craft

3. Set up a Christmas village

2. Track Santa on NORAD's website
