Festive Cracker Hunt & Sprout Potting

IMG_0027.JPGwe headed to the woods for a festive picnic, some cracker hunting, a spot of sprout potting & some whipping up of some reindeer food.

See more of our Magical Christmas Traditions and Fun!

Here’s how we got on…

IMG_0023.JPGwe took with us a few boxes of crackers…

IMG_0024.JPGand a festive tipple! It is Christmas after all..

IMG_0026.JPGwe took with us a cake which we covered with carrots that were to be left for the woodland reindeer to feast on…

IMG_0028.JPGthe kids enjoyed milk and cookies whilst I disappeared to hide the crackers..

Instagram post 2198612114373338507_20180382 🥰A fab festive tradition... 🎅🏼🍰🥛☕️ Turn a flask of hot chocolate and cake into a yummy festive picnic! ✨🧣🧤Wrap up warm 🌲🐿 take some gingerbread hanging tree decorations to hang in the trees for the winter animal to nibble on,
🎨 decorate some festive rocks to hide for others to find 📚 and read some festive stories...
⛄️You can even make simple snowman glasses using permanent sharpie pens... 🌲 This is our Christmas Eve tradition...when the kids are bubbling like bottles of pop & getting excited, a walk, and some fresh to put some colour in their cheeks is just what’s needed before snuggling down to look forward to Santa’s visit 🎅🏼🎁 #Christmas #picnic #cake #snaphappybritmums #illuminatechildhood #lifecloseup #littleandbrave #natureplay #outdoorkids #familyfun #nothingisordinary #thepursuitofjoyproject #themagicineveryday #livebeautifully #noordinarykids #curiouslittleexplorers #mytinymoments #letthembelittle #dailyparenting #candidchildhood #unitedinmotherhood #documentyourdays #rememberingthesedays

...
If I could bottle up these moments,
To remind you as you grow, 
Of the sibling love your really share,
That doesn’t always show. 
You see, even when you’re fighting, 
And you push each other apart, 
I can still see that through the everyday,
You hold each other’s heart.... ....Mumma
