Christmas Season Bucket List

I know it's a little late to just now be posting my bucket list for Christmas...but "tardy to the party" is becoming quite a theme in my life these days. Maybe I will get it together in 2016?!

Anyways...here's what I hope to do this month, along with some photos of us from last year!

*Send Christmas cards

*Have #ellas12daysofchristmas...lots of Christmas outfits to share on Instagram!

*Attend at least one tree lighting

*Go to the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree

*Get a new ornament(s) to commemorate our year (events/vacations)
I've already ordered this year's...we got one for the new baby and one for the new house!

*Visit the singing bear orchestra uptown

*Visit the Winter Wonderland at the Ritz

*Attend a live nativity

*Go to Gingerbread Lane in the Ballantyne Resort



*Visit the "real Santa" at Blacklion 

*Go to our neighborhood's hayride

*Bake Christmas cookies

*Donate to a meaningful charity

*Watch Christmas movies, especially: Elf, Charlie Brown, Rudolph and Christmas Vacation

*Drive around and look at Christmas lights

*Ride on the Polar Express 
(I think we may skip this year...waiting for a time when she can sit still for more than 2 seconds, ha!)

*Christmas eve: new pajamas and book

Whew! We have quite a lot to keep us busy over the next few weeks...on top of unpacking 193813 boxes and getting settled in our new home! But the boxes can wait...sign me up for the fun stuff! 

Oh, and did I forget anything?!
