It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Well, sorta.

I live in Arizona and the cactus really don’t change much…lol

So we have to work extra hard to get in the holiday mood. The past 3 years I have created holiday memories with my girls in the month of December. I took one photo everyday to document our holiday traditions starting December 1st. These are honestly some of my favorite images ever!! It really gets us in the Christmas spirit!I have compiled a list of helpful prompts to help you get started. I find it easier to start the week off with a list in mind and check them off as we go. Feel free to be creative with these!
