December is here! We have chilly weather outside and warm foods inside. The Christmas season is always special, but it is especially wonderful when you have kids. Just the other day I saw my oldest daughter staring at the Christmas tree. She turned to me after a bit and told me how pretty it was. I love how magical the season is for them!
We’ll enjoy our usual traditions (lots of baking, the Jesse Tree, crafts, etc.) this month. As Christmas nears, my kids’ Granny will come join us for the holiday. I’m hoping to remain mindful so I can take in all the smiles and laughter! Here are the dinners we plan to eat throughout the month.
