With a pandemic ruining summer plans and keeping kids home, what a great way to break up the monotony and bring a surprise smile to your kids’ faces!
Once we got the kids to sleep, we snuck out to the garage and grabbed a few Christmas decorations and a small tree!
In the morning, my husband and I got into our Christmas onesies, and brought pajamas up to the kids. They thought *that* was going to be the fun part… then they came downstairs!
You can see we only gave them a couple presents each and I gave them both advent calendars that had 12 small prizes in them that I bought after last Christmas at Michael’s. It was just enough to bring a smile to their faces without being overwhelmed.
Matching Christmas jammies made it feel real! Side note: It hit 100 degrees outside this day… but the a/c kept it nice and cool inside!
We watched “The Grinch”, Home Alone, and Elf over the weekend. Perfect for snuggling! In hindsight, I wish I would’ve made hot chocolate!
Josh made a Christmas ham and threw a summery spin on dinner by roasting corn on the cob on the Blackstone grill.
Then we got messy and made Christmas cookies. Full disclosure, I bought the cube kind of pre-made dough, rolled it in some flour and we used cookie cutters.
They were crazy, but they had a good time. A memory we won’t soon forget from this crazy period in all our lives.
