It’s Friday! I’m so excited to spend a nice weekend with the family! Here are a few activities of fun things to do with your family this weekend!
1. Pick a night to grab some hot chocolate and drive around to admire Christmas lights while listening to Christmas music. This is one of our favorite family activities to do in December! We love to look at different neighborhoods and the kids always vote on their favorites!
2. Make a Gingerbread House together. The kids love decorating gingerbread houses, trains, etc. This year we are going to try to make our own instead of buying prepackaged ones. I found an awesome craft (making a Gingerbread House City from Better Homes & Gardens that I’d love to try this year! I hope I have time to try it, if any of you do, please share with me how it went!
3. Have Family Game Night. Pop some popcorn or make a pizza and enjoy the company of your family! One hint is to turn the tv off, you will have better conversation and concentration!
4. Visit the library. Take the family and search for some books, dvd’s, and magazines. Take home some books and read them together as a family! My kids love being read to! If they have a hard time sitting still let them color, play with Playdoh or Legos and enjoy the story!
5. Bake something tasty together! Make a family favorite and let everyone join in! When the kids cook with me, they enjoy the food and take pride in what we have made. (They also learn valuable life skills in how to feed themselves when they leave the house someday!)
These are just a few ideas of something intentional you can do with your family this weekend. I’d love to hear what you have planned!
