I might be jumping the gun, but Christmas is almost here! Yesterday Devon and I started our day with the temple, headed to IF for some lunch, groceries and a new jacket, came home and cooked 15 pounds of mashed potatoes for our ward Thanksgiving feast, had a blast then enjoyed some cosmic bowling with some friends, came home and watched 3 episodes of Law and Order: SVU.
We rock.
Everyday for the past week and a half Devon and I have enjoyed our own Christmas Pandora station :) complete with MoTab, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Mariah Carey. Could it get any better? So today after church we decided to look for some new ideas or traditions that we may want to start now as a family.
Here are some of our ideas:
1. Stockings
As it is our first year married we figured it would be important to start our holidays making stockings together ♥ So we found these 2 ideas fun.
For these stockings you pick a sock and every year you add a band :) They'll be huge by the time we're 50!
These stockings were also so cute to me! You pick a sweater with cool pockets or buttons then create your own! Hello trip to the thrift store for a cool new stocking idea.
2. Gingerbread Houses!
Probably a tradition in most homes but sounded super fun this year and a nice way to spend a Sunday or FHE.
3. Festive Cookies
I picked these because they are well...just adorable!
4. A Tree Topper
Devon asked me tonight what I thought should be at the top of our tree. I was indifferent but we stumbled across this and thought it looked fun.
...and we still love each other ♥ 3 months today
