This started as a holiday bucket list, but who are we kidding? It’s already the middle of December. Although some (most) items on the list are holiday inspired, they can definitely be carried throughout the season. I plan to do just that …
1. Bake gingerbread cookies with my Mads
(Technically this was already accomplished but we will do again … she’s at such a fun age where I can better tolerate her cooking “skills” 🙂 )
2. Look at Christmas lights & drink hot cocoa
St. Louis has so many great places to check out holiday lights.
3. Winter nature hike/find
I’m looking forward to bundling up and getting lost at a local park. Favorites for this are Castlewood and Powder Valley.
4. Go ice skating
We try to do this every year. We will get this crossed off!
5. Make mulled hot cider
Thinking of trying either The Pioneer Woman or Ina Garten‘s recipe. Surprisingly, Ina Garten’s is way simpler! Go figure!
6. Clean out the closets
It’s time to purge and just give away all the extra.
7. Museum date
The art museum is Mads’ favorite right now … those “mummy cases” get her every time! History museum comes in second.
8. Family game night
Because nothing is better. 🙂
