Best Gifts for a BIG family?  Memories!

2/28/2015

I have to share a little secret with you...my all time favorite gifts are ones that can be used by our entire family to make memories.  When you need an idea for a large family...think outside the box.  Most moms I know really appreciate one gift that serves the family rather than lots of small individual gifts...because that one gift usually serves to help create memories.  Over the years we have been given a box of "family game night" goodies (new board games, popcorn, movies snacks) We have been given a gift card to take the family out for dinner, tickets to the movies, a trampoline...you get the idea.  The awesome thing about it is that the family can then create the memory using something that they enjoy doing together.  

My parents know this and for a few years have done something so amazing, they have given us the gift of an overnight stay at a nearby indoor waterpark.  My children LOVE this gift and it is not something in our budget so it is an over the top gift.  We just came back from taking advantage of this gift from not last Christmas but the one before (we waited as last year we had a very new newborn) and it was a fantastic reprieve from the ridiculous amount of snow we have had of late.  We all enjoyed ourselves so much and it was nice to get away!
