Fun Fun Friday || Orange County Kids Photographer

Poppy Lea Photography Orange County Newborn Photos_0043.jpg

We are big on traditions in our family and one of our favorite family traditions is FUN FUN FRIDAY! As an Orange County Kids Photographer, I usually save Fridays from working to enjoy it with the family and make it a special kick off to the weekend. Saturday and Sunday evenings I am always working so Fridays are our time.

Our go to is pizza and a movie! My kids don’t watch a lot of television or iPads so TV is extra special treat for them. We try to pick a movie we all like so either the Blue Planet series or something educational. If were feeling extra fancy or have had a great week of school and chores, we’ll do dinner out to their favorite restaurant but as many of you know going to dinner with 3 kids isn’t really relaxing.

My favorite things to do are create special themed family dates. We’ve done an Olympics night where we watched the Olympics, ate food from around the world and gave out metals (painted mason jar kids on a string) for the fastest runner or ninja kicks. We’ve done Mexican night - So Mexican food and flan, watched a show in Spanish (Nixon goes to an Immersion school and is fluent), listened to Spanish music and danced. We’ve done art night - Food of their choice while we watched YouTube Videos of Bob Ross and attempted our own paintings at the dining room table. We’ve done make your own pizzas and the kids pick what they want to out on them. We also go around the season, so in March we’ll make an entire meal thats green (natural, not dyed), in the fall we’ll do Apple and Pumpkin, Christmas we’ll do Gingerbread houses and ginger chicken.

You see the theme here. Any theme, just get excited about it and the kids will be excited. In our house, Fun Fun Friday is a big deal and my kids look forward to it all week. What are some of your family traditions?
