We have been keeping up (sort of) with our Christmas Countdown activities. I am finding that this was much easier to do when I didn't have kids in school. But, we are doing our best and cramming in some extra fun when we have time.
Last week we had our 2nd Annual Grinch Party! We have been excited to do this again. Adam and Tessa made some Grinch masks, we watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas, played Pin the Heart on the Grinch, and had our Grinch feast-complete with a roast beast, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, green pudding salad, green vegetable salad, green punch and green rolls.
This week we also made and decorated sugar cookies. This is a must for us around any holiday!
Gwen was a good little taste tester.
They did a good job decorating them!
We made reindeer pancakes for breakfast one morning. Tessa wanted her pancake to be Comet, so she didn't get a cherry nose.
Saturday afternoon we spent up at Spring Haven with all of our Nielson Family. As always, it was fun to get together with everyone and laugh. Our kids had tons of fun playing with all of their cousins!!
