Christmas Traditions 2019 is a recap of a few of our favorite holiday activities. These are the moments that we will remember for years to come.

2019 Christmas Traditions: Christmas Cards | Family Photos | Matching PJ’s | Santa Photos

These are a few of my favorite Christmas Traditions… Family Photos + Christmas Cards + The Santa Visit + Matching Holiday PJ’s!

SANTA is always a fun visit for us. It is our chance to see who will smile and who will cry. Is it bad that I always (secretly) wish for tears?? Sadly, my dream didn’t come true. Kensie held it together and we are officially the ‘smiley-Santa-photos’ family. Oh well, at least I am thankful for the joy. Don’t get me wrong, Kensie is extremely skeptical of Old St. Nick, but I am sure next year she will be his biggest fan! Payton and Paisley, on the other hand, never wanted to leave his side. It is so sweet to watch their belief shine! Enjoy our Santa visit! Continue Reading

Santa 2016 | Christmas Tradition

Every year we take the girls all dressed up in their matching Christmas dresses to Santa’s Wonderland at Bass Pro Shop for their annual Christmas photo with Santa. Truth moment… every visit I hope for at least one crying girl; I adore a good cry face! This year proved to be almost identical to last year with an extremely sad face from my sweet 1.5 year old who still doesn’t love the idea of sitting on some strange man’s lap! And for the second year in a row, my four year old was beyond excited to greet Santa with a smile and proceed to tell him what she would like for Christmas. If you are wondering what she asked for, I learned that she wants purple glass slippers and a pink wand; good to know!

Santa Success! Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Our visit to Santa was a success this year, well at least for one of my girls! We adore the rustic Santa setup at Bass Pro Shop and have made it a holiday tradition to visit every December. This is our 3rd year, and we were so glad to see it is still is the same authentic Jolly Old Saint Nick! For the first time, Paisley happily walked right up to Santa and smiled for the camera with glee. I think she finally realized that if you smile with Santa you receive a candy cane. But, in true Wodiske girl fashion, poor little Payton was not a fan and is now following in Big Sister’s footsteps. I guess that means in 2 years I will have both of my girls smiling on Santa’s lap. Truthfully, I love the crying face and wouldn’t trade it for a smile! Continue Reading
