Day 1 - Read The Night Before Christmas at bed time. Despite their expressions here, I think they really liked it, & we've read it several times since.
Day 2 - Open our box of Christmas stuffed animals & characters. They've been carrying them around since then & sleep with an armload in their beds each night.
Day 3 - Purchase & decorate a little tree for Jake & Mal's room. They had fun picking out all the trimmings with me at Target, including colored lights...
candy canes...
snowmen...
& snowflakes!
Proud of their finished product
Kissing their tree goodnight
Day 4 - Christmas party for children of our Bible class members at the Pierces' house. RaeAnn planned a great morning for the kids with cake decorating...
a Christmas story...
baby Jesus crafts...
& door hanger making!
Day 5 - The Trains at Northpark & Scrooge's Puppet Theater with Daddy. I hosted a baby shower for a friend on Sunday, so these activities achieved some Christmas fun & a kid-free house.
Snuggling with Daddy that night during story time
More fun on the way!
