Whoa, have the temperatures dropped?! I'm not much for cold temperatures but I love how it makes me feel all the things during Christmas. Snuggled up with a blanket, sipping on hot chocolate, building a fire. These are a few of my favorite things. Speaking of have you tried a hot cocoa bomb? We got some this week and they were amazing. I hope you all are staying warm this week and creating memories with your family snuggled under a blanket while watching a holiday movie. Our kids will finish school for the year this week and we will have some time to stay up later and bake and craft. Here are my top 5 things to do this week: 

1. Christmas at Kiroli
First annual walk through lighted display.
2. Lights at Parrots Beak in Monroe
In the back of the neighborhood (address in the link above), there is a house that has some lights set to music. And you may even catch a glimpse of Santa through their window. So adorable. It was a family favorite for sure!

3. Tis the season to give
Here is one way you can give this season. Let's bring sunshine to a boy or girl this Christmas by donating a small toy!

4. Drive-in Movie to see Holiday Classics
Did I mention-FREE?! Load up the car with all the kids and head out to ULM to see one of these classics. 

5. Holiday Scavenger Hunt 
When you head out to look at Christmas lights, look for the things listed on this list!
