Because we have family spread all over we always tend to rotate the holidays. Well this year we decided that we are taking a family vacation. It was a toss-up between Lake Tahoe and Mexico. In the end Mexico won out because my husband and daughter do not ski or snowboard so really only my son and I benefited from Tahoe. I can't wait to start more planning!
Because we will be traveling gifts will be light and small in size, our family gift is this trip. The project I have to show you today is a great way to give a gift certificates which is what I planning on putting in my husband and children's stockings.
