3 Fun Traditions To Help "Kick Off" The Christmas Season.

Christmastime is seriously the best! I especially love it now that I have littles of my own. It's so fun creating traditions and watching their little faces light up with excitement as they experience all the fun things of the season.

I am so excited to share with you 3 of my favorite Christmas traditions that take place on (or around) December 1st. I consider them my "kick-off the season traditions!"

1: Christmas Pajamas

This is a tradition that I grew up with and knew that I would continue in my own family. As a child we always opened them up on Christmas Eve, but this year I decided to give them to my girls on December 1st. I thought it would be fun for them to wear throughout the Christmas season since they are Christmasy! I haven't decided if I will always do that or if I will give them on Christmas Eve. I guess we'll see!

2: Christmas books

I always get my girls a Christmas book to give to them on December 1st. We absolutely love reading and it is so fun to grow our little collection. There are so many Christmas books, so I'm sure we'll be doing this for a while!

3: Christmas Ornaments

Starting with my very first Christmas my mom would buy an ornament each year and give it to me the night we decorated our Christmas tree! I absolutely loved this. I loved that each ornament was specific to something I liked or did that year. This year I got Olivia a little ballerina doll ornament since she started ballet and performed in two recitals! I got Clara a little polar bear or "snow bear" as we call them because she is obsessed with THIS book and absolutely loves them! 

Here are some pictures from our "Christmas tradition shoot."

Enjoy!

Olivia & Clara's pajamas: Gap  || Books: The Nutcracker & Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer || Ornaments: Ballerina (bought in stores at Hobby Lobby & Polar Bear (in store)

If you have any traditions that you do with your families please leave a comment below and tell us about them! I am always looking for fun things to do!

We hope you are having a fabulous Christmas season so far!

Let me start off by saying how incredibly grateful I am to have worked with such talented people! Jessica is one of the most kind, unselfish people you'll ever meet. I've had the opportunity to work with her a couple of times now and when she first told me about the shoot, I was super excited and honored to be apart of it. She is so creative and absolutely wonderful to work with. I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley and Lindsey and can I just say how fabulous these two women are? I can't believe how much ambition Ashley has! She has such a keen eye and knew exactly how to make us look good and achieve a good shot. There was no messing around! :) It amazed me to see Lindsey at work. She had boxes and boxes of these incredible decorations and she put it together in minutes. It takes someone extremely talented and creative to pull something this extravagant off in the little time that she had.  

Thank you to all vendors and creatives that made this shoot possible and allowing me to be a part of something wonderful!  

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
