Boys’ Annual Christmas Ornaments
A couple of years in the past, Ryan and I began a practice of giving our boys ornaments that seize one thing about them that 12 months — one thing that represents their pursuits, character, and so forth. It’s simply develop into one in all my favourite traditions of the vacation season in our dwelling and I can not wait to provide the boys the ornaments we discovered for them this 12 months. I nearly all the time flip to Etsy for his or her ornaments yearly as a result of these small outlets do such an exquisite job of creating lovely ornaments I can usually personalize with the boys’ names and the 12 months. Chase will likely be receiving a leopard gecko ornament in honor of his love for Fortunate. Rudolph is Ryder’s ornament this 12 months due to how a lot he loves Rudolph and the truth that he dressed up as Rudolph for Halloween (his candy request) and sleeps with a Rudolph stuffed animal each night time. Rhetty Roo goes to get a firetruck ornament this 12 months as a result of nothing lights this child up like passing a firetruck alongside the highway. He simply calls them “wee-oo wee-oos” and I feel he’s going to like a wee-oo wee-oo of his personal on the tree this 12 months!

Turkey Trot Costume Brainstorming
(Flashback from Thanksgiving 2012!)
Pivoting from Christmas again to Thanksgiving… Our household will likely be collaborating in a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning! Ryan and I used to do Turkey Trots collectively (and with Sadie!) on a regular basis pre-kids however this would be the first one we’ve carried out because the boys had been born. It’s household and stroller-friendly (I ponder if the boys can carry their Energy Wheels!? Ha!) and we’re constructing the joy in our home by making do-it-yourself turkey shirts with the boys. There are one million lovable turkey trot costume concepts on Pinterest however we’re going the easy route: Tan t-shirts, googly eyes, glued-on feathers and a painted beak and I discovered every little thing I wanted at Walmart!
With my mother on the town final week, I had a second to pop into HomeGoods and simply browse. Have you learnt how lovelyyyy that was for me!? Oh my gosh it’s been without end since I’ve had time to leisurely roam the aisles of HomeGoods on my own. Whereas I used to be there, I picked up a few vacation books for the boys, some playing cards and a newbie embroidery equipment for myself. I’ve been all in favour of embroidery for ages however very intimidated by it and figured a equipment that stated it was “good for learners” can be proper up my alley. The design isn’t too intense and I’ve been having the very best time studying new stitches and finishing this festive design. It was a lot simpler than I anticipated (due to the detailed instructions) and has been a enjoyable little passion to do in automotive pool strains, on the ground whereas the boys are enjoying (they love watching!) and on the finish of the day once I’m listening to an audiobook.
