Hide the pickle.
We have a pickle ornament that was given to us as a gift that we hide in our Christmas tree each year. It's a game to see who can find it.
This is nothing big and nothing too creative, yet something fun that the kids enjoy and ask about every year.
J getting ready to hide it in the tree. No I didn't have to pay him to pose like this.
The Minneapolis Holidazzle Parade.
Though I don't suggest going on the very first night with three exhausted children, including one 19 month old who will not sit still.
I spent more time and energy trying to express to H how "fun" the parade is than actually having fun. Oops.
During our 2-hour wait T and M occupied themselves with games like Mancala and Pick Up Sticks. H was a completely different story.
The parade is a 30 minute evening parade of lights that goes down Nicollet Avenue. We (mostly me) like to stay warm so we camp out in the skyway between City Center and Gavidae and watch from above.*What are some of your Christmas traditions? I'll be sharing several of mine (and ours) from now through Christmas and would love to know some of yours too...*

I bought that exact same pickle ornament a week and a half ago! Maybe we'll have matching Christmas traditions.
These will be Memories you all will enjoy. This is always good.
Love to all

You are keeping up with a busy household to be sure! We have always wanted to go to the Holidazzle Parade, but our timing was off. Maybe someday?
Your idea of watching the skyway is the best...it gets soooo cold there. And you're having snow now?
