Christmastime is Here

Our family is doing an activity advent calendar. We started Dec 1st and here's what we've done so far:

Dec 1 - Read a Christmas story (we decided to reminise and look at pictures and read an article out of the Ensign)


Dec 2 - Decorate house

Our Nativity

Stockings (we need to get Logan's name on his)



Dec 3 - Put outside lights on


Dec 4 - Go to Festival of Trees

This was fun but way busy. I was going to get Logan's picture with Santa but the line was way too long. There were amazing trees, gingerbread houses, wreaths, and fun entertainment. Next year we won't go on a Friday night!


PS - For some reason all my pics turned out blurry. Darn camera!

A gingerbread CASTLE!


Logan on top of Daddy's shoulders. He did great.


Dec 5 - Shop for our Christmas tree - our tradition is to get a real one


Dec 6 - Decorate tree


I have a cute video of Logan looking at the tree that I'll post soon. We love our little tree. It sits in the corner and can't be reached by Logan because of our couches. It smells so good. As soon as this was decorated, Christmas felt like it officially begun.


Dec 7 - Make Christmas cards


Dec 8 - Watch a Christmas movie - We watched a Charlie Brown Christmas and Prep and Landing (a special on NBC)



Dec 9 - Today we'll plan on playing a board game - hopefully we'll keep the Christmas spirit and not get too competitive.


Are you in the Christmas mood yet?
