There's only 11 days until Christmas and the countdown is on! Have you finished all your holiday shopping yet? I only have a couple more things to buy and then I'm done. Getting everything all wrapped up is the hard part. Do you have any special family traditions that you do with your family during the holidays?
Every year on Christmas Eve my girls get a 'Christmas Eve Surprise Box' that contains a new pair of pajamas, a special snack, a movie and hot chocolate. We watch the movie as a family and then read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas before putting them to bed.
Some of our other fun traditions include visiting Victoria Park downtown to see the lights and get pictures with Santa, baking holiday cookies & treats, lots of fun crafts, writing letters to Santa, and visiting family. My husband has started a little tradition of making gnocchi with pasta sauce every year as well. His grandfather used to make that dish and since he passed no one makes it anymore, so my husband learned how and perfected his own little recipe for us to enjoy at a special candlelit family dinner.
I'd love to hear some of your traditions so that maybe I can include some new ones!
Here's a few pictures I've taken during my Holiday Mini Sessions this season.
