Family time at our house

It's Christmas break around here. Which I am loving! So great to have everyone in the house! I love spending the holidays together to celebrate the season and enjoy time with each other!

 

This year I have a list of things I hope to do as a family during Christmas break. With a house full of teens and tweens, I'll be lucky if I'm able to check off half of these. I think it's worth a try:

1. Bake and decorate cookies. Messy fun.
2. Watch Christmas movies and munch popcorn...all of us...in the same room. All cell phones dropped in a box at the living room door.
3. Drive around town and take in the sights and lights. Love doing this.
4. Play Mario Card Wii. We have enough four controllers, so one can cheer on the other four players.
5. Play Phase 10. Again, all cell phones tucked in a box in another room.
6. Attend Mass together. All of us.
7. Make a meal, any meal...together. We each do a part. I could be getting greedy with that wish, but it's worth a shot.

See, it's not a huge list, but I think it's doable! I'm not asking too much. Crossing my fingers!
