I love the holiday season (which starts with Halloween in my book). It's a fun time to craft, bake and make traditional treats, have traditions and create memories.
I've only been married for (not quite) 4 years but we've done activity countdowns every since the beginning.
Only thing about this year is we now have two kids and not a lot of time :(.
So this year our list is very simple. Here is our countdown from last year while living in Texas:
