Last year we started a new tradition of doing something Christmasey every day in December. I know it sounds like a lot of work but I count everything. So taking our neighbors their Christmas treats, family/ward parties all count. Makenna loved it last year and this year has gone well also. Here are some of the things we have done so far.
Playing in the snow... Makenna loves playing in the snow and this was the first time Chase was really able to play in it as well.
Chase would do everything that Makenna did... monkey see, monkey do.
We made cinnamon ornaments...
Marshmallow snowmen....
Makenna decorated a felt Christmas tree with buttons...
Christmas wouldn't be complete without a visit to Santa. Chase would have nothing to do with him and this was the first year that Makenna sat on his lap, she even spoke a few words to him!
Tonight we walked around and looked at the lights the city puts up at the park and had hot chocolate after.
Not pictured was the Jasper Chirstmas party which was fun as always. The other night we also rented a Christmas show and had popcorn. We have had some family home evenings to help the kids remeber the birth of the Savior and that's why we really celebrate this holiday. We also play Don't Eat the Elf. The kids love this new tradition and I love seeing how excited they are to do things and enjoy the magic of the holiday. We still have a few more days so a few more activites are in store!
