It’s great to look back and see just how all of our favorite family holiday activities and traditions have grown and changed over the years, little-by-little, as our lives got busier and we got smarter..When Jack came on the scene two years ago just a few weeks before Christmas, we definitely had to make some changes and updates to some of our favorite “must do every year” activities.
For the most part, we’ve always taken our cues from all of the holiday clichés and have gone pretty classic with our holidays.We always head out to cut down our own tree, decorate the tree together as a family that night, then make time for gingerbread house decorating, Christmas crafts, and watching the Santa Clause parade in there somewhere too..Some traditions, like bundling up to go skating (or just sliding around) on the creek, or taking pictures in Santa hats are just so much better for everyone now that we’ve got Jack around to make us all laugh.
But some things, like decorating the perfect tree or doing most Christmas crafts, are pretty darn near impossible.All parents of toddlers are nodding their heads right now.
We’ve never really gone out driving around to look at Christmas lights, but last year it seemed like the perfect activity one boring Friday night, mostly because little baby Jack could sleep in his car seat the whole time and we could all relax.
It turned out to be really fun for everyone with Christmas music on the radio and drive-thru hot chocolates.And if you come up with some new mistakes of your own (which you probably will)?
Just take a deep breath and be grateful for what a smart cookie you’re becoming!In the end, if the floor is solid, looks good, and works like it’s supposed to, then you win!.
Have you ever installed a DIY heated tile floor?Which kind of system did you use?
