Christmas Countdown

Last week we began our Christmas Countdown activities. We love having something fun to do each day leading up to the big day. 
Day 24: Don't Eat the Reindeer! 
You should hear the maniac laughs that come out of these kids when we play this game. They love it!
 Day 23: Stringing popcorn for the tree. 
They did way better with this activity than I expected. We only have 2 strands on our tree and our living room floor was covered in popcorn when they were done, but they loved it!



Day 22: Make paper snowflakes. 
They made a big pile of snowflake and hung them in our windows. 
 Day 21: Our 3rd Annual Grinch Party!!
 We love our Grinch party. This year the kids made Grinch masks, played Pin the Heart on the Grinch, we read How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and we had our Grinchy Green dinner. 



 We made green Grinch heart cookies for dessert.
 Day 20: Salem Pond and Letters to Santa 
Daddy was gone for the evening, so we loaded up the car and headed for some Christmas light adventures. We loved finding houses that were decorated for Christmas and we went to see all the lights on Salem Pond
 Everyone agreed that the Pond was beautiful all lit up. 
Before bed, they all got their letter written to Santa. Tessa had a hard time deciding whether or not she had been good this year.
