We began this Christmas season doing the 12 Days of Chritstmas. For the first day we went to the Planetarium and saw “The Light Before Christmas”, then we went over and saw the lights on Temple Spuare.
It was cold!
On the second day of Christmas we got a present… such a fun family present. First, for dinner we ate Baked Potatoes w/toppings. Then the present was opened. It was Mr. Potato Head set. The kids had so much fun playing with them.
On the 3rd day of Christmas we had a fun building project to work on. We got 4 Build-a-Bears! One for each kid. It ended up being quite the project for mom.
Brandon’s – Bob the Monkey
Emily’s – Sparky the Dog
Leah’s – Sarah Bear
and poor Alyssa’s bear has still not been given a proper name….. but they are all definitely loved!
On the 4th Day of Christmas we got presents again…. this time everyone had their very own present to open. Each present was filled with books, wonderful books!
Day 5 of Christmas is where our Days of Christmas takes a drastic turn. Mike started giving the family “puzzle pieces” (pieces of papers with clues on them) the week before and on this day he announced that it was the last puzzle piece. It was time to piece it together. It took us a few minutes but we soon figured out that the surprise was a trip to Sunny California!
