Last winter after Ollie was born and we were spending more time at home, we got in the habit of doing a new puzzle together as a family every month. The dropping temperatures have helped revive that tradition and it made me realize how much I missed having a puzzle out to work on with the kids. I told Mara to pick one out and they chose this Disney one. It has three different puzzle piece sizes – small, medium, and large – so it’s actually designed for everyone in the family to be able to enjoy together. We also got this Marvel Monopoly game that we broke in last weekend with Mara and Wes – such a fun twist on a classic fave!

I have been dying to take Ollie to Disney for his first time (well he was in my belly the first time but that doesn’t really count ;). I ordered a few more Disney pieces to bring some of the magic home and create some of those early Disney moments until he can go in person. Honestly I think it will make his first visit to Disney even more special tying in all the memories from home. (Like these Mickey Mouse waffles for breakfast!)

They also had the cutest holiday mugs and plates! I let the kids pick outa set of holiday plates each year and I’m hoping when they are older they all take one to pass down to their kids. This year we went Disney with these matching cocoa mugs and dessert plates for each of them (this one for the boys and this one for Mara). I feel like they will be a holiday favorite every year when we pull them out! Also got this bowl-train set and can’t wait to use it for a Christmas party – maybe a hot cocoa bar with toppings or to hold sprinkles, etc for decorating sugar cookies.

Below are some more Disney favorites to bring a little more magic to our festivities this year (that I think we could all use right now haha):

XX, Christine

  1. These family photos are so sweet! Disney is such a special and magical place. I was just telling my husband last night how much I miss Disney World. We spent our honeymoon there last year and it was so much fun. We decided we would make it a tradition to go once a year. This year we decided not to because of COVID and it’s so sad. I really hope things clear up and improve next year so we can enjoy that Disney magic to the fullest!
