We started our day with a line up of smoothies.

I love that the kids are into green smoothies and actually ingest some spinach!

Our elves thought it would be a good day for a snowball fight, but sadly we didn’t get the snow that was originally predicted. Sad for all of us, we were hoping for more snow!

We did errand things, and school things and Christmasy things and snuggly things….

In the afternoon we made some Grinch Cookies.

They are actually Cranberry Pistachio cookies and are so delicious! We just call them Grinch cookies because they are green and it’s more fun.

I love an easy recipe that is unique and delicious!

We have also be spending a lot of time planning next years adventures. I think we are close to a final list with a few weekend trips that we will just plan on the go…

I am SO SO SO excited for what we have planned for the year! The hard thing is that we want to see everything and there are so many amazing places to visit. Vacation time and money are always the limiters, but we get lots of travel inspiration from full time van life and travel vloggers on YouTube.

When do you plan out your travel for the year?
