I cannot believe that Christmas is only 9 days away. At first, I really thought I was prepared but now realizing we still have a bunch more to shop for. Ryder and Siella are both so excited for the holidays this year and just seeing their faces light up makes me want to do more and more holiday activities with them. Each year I add on more traditions for us, especially when it comes to visiting Santa.We see a total of four different Santa’s throughout the month, and although I would love to drop one of them, I have photos from every year with each kid (kids) and don’t want to have a gap in any of those pictures. Is that crazy?
In this post, you will see our third Santa visit this year. This Santa comes to the Financial Center by us and these pictures started when Ryder was only four months old. I mean, how can we not visit him right. But being the fashion crazy mom I am, the kids need a different dress up outfit for each Santa. These outfits are all from RUUM. I first fell in love with the company about a year ago, and have been loving their designs since. RUUM American Kid’s Wear celebrates playful kids who are excited about expressing themselves through their clothing choices. With fun and exciting children’s clothes for boys, girls, toddlers and babies, there’s something for everyone in our house. And my fav, I could coordinate them.
I have also teamed up with RUUM during this holiday time and are offering you all a chance to win a $100 gift card to shop RUUM.

My favorite holiday tradition is baking and frosting cookies! And Christmas pictures!
Santa at Macy’s and Breakfast with Santa. Love them both equally!
Our favorite tradition is getting all bundled up and going to chop down our Christmas tree, then coming home and decorating it while listening to Christmas music and sipping hot cocoa. We also LOVED taking our son to see Santa. {Too cute for words} This year is my son’s first Christmas so honestly every little moment is my favorite. 🙂

My favorite tradition is when we get each one an ornament that we feel represents them. They love this and we love to see how happy they are!

Ultimate fave family tradition is Treasure Hunts on Christmas Day. It’s such a competition to see who gets their gift first that are no rules. We all have a love hate relationship with them.

I don’t think it’s crazy that you carry on your Santa tradition – I think it’s AWESOME! Your kiddos will so appreciate the care you took in making Christmas time special. I think it’s beautiful! I love making tons of fudge every year (enough to give the entire neighborhood diabetes!). I also love making gingerbread house, decorating, watching the kids school performances, being with family. Lots’ of things! This giveaway is great! The kids look so cute and the coordinate outfits are adorable. I would love to shop for my kiddos at RUUM – I never have!
Thank you so much Monica. I adore your holiday traditions with your kids. Have a wonderful holiday with your family! xx
ps – save me some fudge!

My favorite Christmas tradition by far is Advent Sacks. We buy 24 small gifts and place them in a large bag. For each day in December, our daughter gets to draw a present out of the sack. The small gifts can be anything from candy to hair accessories to a movie pass. It’s something to look forward to every day while counting the days till Santa comes.
making fried dessert wontons!
We love to visit Santa!
My favorite is baking cookies with them on Christmas Eve for Santa

My Fav Christmas tradition is taking my kids to Breakfast with Santa.
Our family traditions are quite different during this time of year. Since the age of 2 weeks old MY mom has taken us to Florida (and usually a stop over to Disney when possible). Every year! And what a warm welcome to get out of the cold and have some vitamin D on the face!
I recall so vividely driving through the Carolina’s in my grandmother’s Chevy hatchback Nova laying side by side with my brother & sister (thats how small we were)seeing the sky as a blanket of stars. Not something a city kid gets too often.
So now that I have 3, it means the world to me to do the same thing with my children. To share with them the history and transition my mom and grandmother shared with me as a child. So now I teach my baby’s what it means to stand on the beach, embrace the warm sun, ocean sounds and “make a memory” of the moment as we walk to the light house a few miles down and collect shells. It’s almost surreal but it is one of my life’s greatest traditions. Xo
I adore this traditon and it is just lovely that you are carrying it on with your children! Happy Holidays to you! xx

I love walking with my son around the neighborhood to look at all the decorations and lights – we take a picture every year at the tree stand on the corner. They hang giant ornaments up and really make the neighborhood feel festive.
