OH MY GOD. How is this day already here. This entire week I’ve been having mixed emotions about my tiny babies turning TEN. TENNNNN! HOW?! I can’t handle this you guys.
white elephant gift ideas
It seems like the most popular “game” to play at Christmas parties is the White Elephant. If you don’t know what that is, let me explain. White Elephant means bring a wrapped gift of something funny or something you don’t want anymore laying around your house. It’s supposed to be kind of a “joke” gift. Usually the money limit is around $20-$35 OR everyone just grabs something from their house. I typically buy a gift because no one wants to get stuck with your old junk. Even though you buy a gift, you can still make it fun and silly! Here are some good ideas if you’re stuck on what to get.
our favorite christmas books
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is picking out a new Christmas book every year. Our collection is really growing because I’ve been doing it since McKenzie and Kasey were born (2008!). If you do the Elf on the Shelf tradition it would be a fun idea to have the elf bring a Christmas book on the first night every year! Over the years you will begin to cherish all of your books and they can be passed down to your kids and grandchildren. I LOVE special little things that make the holidays even more meaningful. I thought I’d share our absolute favorite ones to read every year.
sprispals winter photoshoot 2018
I’m lucky to call Courtney from Sprispals one of my friends! She always includes my kids in her product photo-shoots. I get the sweetest pictures like these to keep and cherish forever. The photos from her shoots are always some of my absolute favorites! Last month they got to participate in the winter 2018 shoot! I loved this wall as a backdrop so much! These pictures are definitely making their way on our Christmas cards this year!
a non-traditional holiday meal with stella® cheese

I don’t know about you guys, but in the months of November and December we attend A LOT of holiday parties. My husband and I have multiple parties for each sides of our family, plus friend parties, and all the kid’s events as well! That usually means eating a lot of turkey, ham, stuffing… all your basic holiday foods.
I think it’s nice to switch up the traditional holiday meals with some other out of the box meals. For at least one of our holiday parities we will do Italian food! It’s still in the same “comfort food” category but many people might not think of it as holiday party food.
