I love having a little doll or stuffed animal peeking out the top of the stocking. I think it’s so cute, and Piper is currently obsessed with any and all stuffed animals, so it’s something that will get a ton of love and use. Since it’s Christmas, I love to include a little treat in the stocking! Many memories are made inside watching Christmas movies, reading Christmas books, doing crafts, dancing to ‘rudolph the red nosed reindeer (the dubstep version of course), and opening our stockings on Christmas morning.
I love creating experiences and traditions at Christmas for our family to revisit year after year. We’ll leave early in the morning, grab a christmas drink from starbucks, listen to Christmas music on the way up, and then go hunting for the perfect tree when we get up there. It’s so fun to walk through, and see Piper’s reaction to santa claus every year, which is always one of terror! It’s vital for focusing our hearts and minds on the reason for Christmas, and it’s always such a sweet, moving service.
Piper’s room is fully decked out with the spider garland, foam bats, spider webs, and halloween/fall books. So far, she loves decorating just as much as I do ;) Another bat project we made using toilet paper rolls, some black finger paint, construction paper, and googly eyes! We watched a couple of youtube videos on bats too, and Piper loves to share how they “are black, fly at night, and hand upside down! Piper loves animals, so I’ve made a point to use the season for learning activities about bats, spiders, etc.
I love putting together a little fall bucket list every year to create a sense of adventure in our family, and fully enjoy the season and all it has to offer! Here’s what you’ll find on our bucket list this fall: We had such a fun time doing this last year, when you can finally be outside for more than 5 minutes without dripping in sweat. We’re also big fans of pumpkin bread and muffins, spiced granola, and pumpkin cookie cutters, as well! If you’re really in for a treat, give my most popular recipe (and our family’s favorite) a try – savory pumpkin pizza!
