Well the twelve twenty four days of Christmas were jammed packed this year all due to this little bugger that got created.
Our Advent calendar hosts a "Christmas Activity" each night until Santa comes. Let's just say our Advent calendar is a bit more secular than probably intended but it still is a fun way to countdown and extend the season to it's fullest!
On the first day of Christmas we went to the bridge lighting ceremony.
On the second day of Christmas we went to the Santa Parade.
On the third day of Christmas we wrote Santa Letters....
On the fourth day of Christmas we colored Christmas pictures.....couldn't get a picture for everything.
On the fifth day of Christmas we had a Christmas show Talent night....
This is Brady's magic show.....Criss Angel, he ain't.
On the Sixth day of Christmas we decorated with spray snow.....
On the seventh day of Christmas we got reminded to believe by watching The Polar Express
On the Eighth day of Christmas we made Christmas cookies.....
On the ninth day of Christmas we went to see the lights at fifth third ball park.
On the Tenth day of Christmas we traveled to Chicago and made a pit stop at our favorite exit, we literally get Jimmy Johns, White Castle, Taco Bell, and Burger King......the kids look forward to it every trip! Every activity can't be that meaningful!
On the Eleventh day of Christmas we visited with the Wades
On the Twelfth day of Christmas we celebrated with our Illinois family.
On the thirteenth day of Christmas we made snowflakes!
On the fourteenth day of Christmas we went to Brooke's Christmas musical at school
on the fifteenth day of Christmas we donated toys.....
On the sixteenth day of Christmas we made gingerbread houses....
On the seventeenth day of Christmas we celebrated at class parties.
On the eighteenth day of Christmas we sat on Santa's lap. Brady apparently got in a fight with the drinking fountain while we waited in line.
I missed Brady asking for a mansion and a mini van .....they both asked for a dog and this Santa explained to them he doesn't do live animals in his sleigh!
On the nineteenth day of Christmas we watched Christmas movies.....
On the twentieth day of Christmas we read Christmas books.
On the twenty first day of Christmas we did body art.....
On the twenty second day of Christmas we wrapped Christmas presents
On the twenty third day of Christmas we tried to recover from fevers.....
The twenty fourth day of Christmas we celebrated Christmas eve with Poppa and Penny and Greg
We said goodbye to Nikki our elf and laid out cookies and wrote letters to Santa (again)
And that night the Partridges in a pear tree fell from exhaustion and were excited that the Advent Calendar was complete and Christmas day was only hours away!
