Just another one of my seasonal to-do lists.

Mail Christmas Cards – This is one of my most favorite things to do each year!
Buy and Decorate our Christmas Tree – We sold our 7 ft fake tree last year because we were running out of storage and weren’t going to use it since Charlotte would have been all over it. Well, now our place is gigantic and the 4 ft fake tree just isn’t going to cut it.
Make Christmas Ornaments – Toddler friendly ornaments, that is. I’m really, really, really hoping Charlotte doesn’t pull down the tree, but just in case she does, there will be nothing breakable and nothing that can hurt her on the tree.
Winter Wonderland @ Petco Park – We did this last year and it was so cool. It’s going to be even better this year with Charlotte being older and able to participate in more of the activities.
Look at Christmas Lights – If we can find a place where we can park and walk, that would be awesome. I know C won’t stand for being in the car while looking at lights.
Coronado Christmas Date – This is an annual tradition for Matt and I (although we didn’t make it last year). We go to dinner in Coronado and then walk around the Hotel Del, watch the ice skaters and have a drink. Maybe we’ll do a family date this year.
Make Christmas Cookies – My parents and sister will be coming here for Christmas for the first time ever! This means I need to make all the yummy goodies that my mom usually makes.
Make Christmas gift for Coworkers – Now that Matt will be taking C out of the house for a few hours each weekend, this will give me plenty of time to put something together. I try to keep things simple, useful and inexpensive. I’ll post what I decide to do when I make them!
