Christmas Fun Continues!

We picked out our tree,

Unwrapped this year's ornaments (Cinderella for Avi, Christmas Mickey for Millie, Yoda for Brian),

Decorated our little tree,

Had Christmas tree pancakes,

Visited Knott's Berry Farm (cops and their spouses got in for free!),

Decorated Gingerbread houses with Uncle Nate and Aunt Kati,

And made a candy necklace!

10 days to go!!

Christmas Fun Countdown days 3-7

Day 3: A candle light bubble bath....

Day 4: Playtime with our new nativity scene and Christmas books.

Day 5: Candy Cane Playdoh with sparkles and peppermint smells!

Day 6: The Polar Express! Book and Movie...

Day 7: Um, candy cane cookies. Sugar cookies with smashed candy canes in them, shaped like candy canes - however, after baking, they no longer represented candy canes. They still taste good though!

And we FINALLY got to see Millie's stocking that my mom has been working on all year! I looks amazing! Thanks Mom!

Decorating for Christmas

Our Christmas fun for day 2 was decorating the house! Grandma and Grandpa came over and helped. Now we are looking festive!

Christmas Countdown!!

It's December and our Christmas Countdown has commenced!! We have fun activities planned for this month, but we started off with making a countdown paper chain and opening the December treasure box!

24 days of more fun to come!

Baking with my girls

This was the first time I attempted baking with both the girls at the same time. It went pretty good for the most part. Millie mostly stirred flour and chocolate chips in a bowl but she was so proud!
