Here are some of the outtakes that didn’t make it into our special pandemic-themed Christmas card this year.

Go Go Christmas

By jklolfamily • On December 13, 2020 • In Holidays, Kids • 1 min read

Jackson was obsessed with the the Kidz Bop “Go Christmas” video when he was little, excitedly shaking his fists and saying “go! go!” whenever he wanted to watch it.

And here’s Beckham watching it… also completely enamored!

Beckham was crying and crying at his doctor’s appointment.

Jackson: “Did you bring the baby shusher?”

Me: “Ohhh, no I didn’t.”

Jackson: “Oh, well you need to bring the baby shusher.”

Our new neighbor

By jklolfamily • On December 10, 2020 • In Home • 1 min read

We spotted this little fox hanging out in the woods behind our yard, and he was not afraid of us in the slightest. We crept closer and closer towards the fence, and he just sat there watching us. He didn’t even care when Luc got right up to the fence, although he did start walking away when Luc started barking.

Elf on the Shelf

By jklolfamily • On December 9, 2020 • In Kids • 1 min read

I kept debating whether I really wanted to start this holiday tradition… seems like it could be kinda fun, but you do hear parents lament all the work involved in coming up with creative ideas and remembering to move it around every night.

I think pandemic guilt got the better of me — trying to add a little more fun back into this unusual holiday season and this was, at least, something we could do from home. And then fear from all the out of stock items this year led me to impulse buy an elf once I saw one available.

So, I officially committed… eek!

That being said, I am changing the rules a bit for our elf. We’re keeping it simple: Ignoring all the naughty stuff, just moving the elf to a new spot, and only doing it for the 12 days of Christmas.

Plus a new goal — get everyone to clean each night before the elf comes, lol.

Time to wake up?

By jklolfamily • On December 7, 2020 • In Kids • 1 min read

We have Jackson’s sound machine programmed so that it changes color and turns green in the morning when it’s OK to get out of bed. Apparently one night it shut off completely so he was confused in the morning.

Jackson: “The light didn’t turn green, and I was asking the triceratops but he didn’t say anything.”

Tree delivery

By jklolfamily • On December 7, 2020 • In Pandemic • 1 min read

Our Christmas tree has arrived! In full pandemic style… home delivery! I wasn’t sure how it would look after being crammed in a box, but it actually turned out to be a really nice tree. We might have a new yearly tradition, haha.
