The holidays are upon us!  This is one of my favorite times of the year (as I'm sure it is many of yours as well   )!  I have 2 young kids and we love soaking up the spirit of the holidays and creating our own family traditions and making lots of memories along the way.  

I've listed some holiday events happening in our area and will continue to add to this list, so please make sure you are subscribed to our free weekly e-newsletter to get the most updated info!  If you know of any holiday events that you'd like to share with our readers, please email me at ashleyhigashi@macaronikid.com.
