Christmas Activities Week Three

The highlights of our week include...

Second Annual Reindeer Games

We had a fun time, but I'm really hoping next year we can have some friends to join in the fun! :) We did quite a few relay races, and then went inside for a few games since it was COLD. :) They loved "Dress The Tree" and yes I'm that cool of a mom and let Lorelei turn me into a tree as well. And yes, its intentionally the smallest picture ;) Pin The Nose On Rudolf and a Bow Throw game were also hits.

Jesus' Birthday Party

We had an extra-special Family Night celebrating Jesus' Birthday with games, face painting and cupcakes. (We helped make 2 dozen of them and the kids loved decorating them!)

Opening A Few Gifts Early

We had Nana and Papa's gifts sitting under the tree for quite some time. Friday seemed a great day to have the treat of opening them so that they would keep the kids occupied while I baked, did laundry and packed. It worked pretty well! Lorelei loved practicing her drawing!

Christmas Lights

We packed up hot chocolate treats along with popcorn and Christmas Peanut M & Ms for driving around and looking at Christmas lights! (We also combined this with coffee cake drop offs!) There was even a house where the lights danced to music. We parked and sat through the whole "show" at that house. (This is why they aren't buckled into car seats.) I think this will always be one of my favorites activities. :)
