We've been listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies (such as Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas) and I already told you about us taking her "Disney World" aka Lowe's to see the Christmas inflatables and her reaction to that.
Some other things I want to do with her:
1. Pick out a Christmas tree from a tree farm
2. Take her to Santa's Wonderland in College Station
3. Drive around and see the lights in River Oaks
4. Zoo Lights
5. Tell her the Christmas story through a Nativity Scene that I bought for her.
6. Do a little advent time before bed each night
7. Make Christmas cookies
8. We will, for the first time, fully decorate the outside of our home. Grant is 100% NOT on board with this but I keep telling Ellie "Daddy is going to put lights on the outside of our house, Ellie!" and then I turn to Grant and he is giving me a death stare and I laugh so, so hard. The other day he asked if I needed him to do anything and I said "start working on your plan for the outdoor Christmas decor" and again he glares and I just laugh and laugh and laugh. He is so blessed to have me.
But I need suggestions, y'all! She will be 2.5 in January... she loves music and she loves Disney movies. What are some "musts" for her that she can participate in? Someday I will take her to The Nutcracker but at this point that would kind of be a disaster. :)
Must see movies?
Must see attractions?
Sweet traditions?
Suggestions welcome!
(And for you're new to the blog and need a frame of reference, I live in Houston!)
Thank you in advance for your advice and suggestions. The internet is awesome.
