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?
