Each night starting on December 1st we had a Christmas devotional, which included a Christmas carol, a scripture about Christ's birth and an activity; sometimes being a craft, a video etc. Making gingerbread houses became one of our activities when Peg sent us home with all the stuff. We were lucky to have Amanda (Vienna's primary teacher) over with us.
Peg was so cute this year, she had a Christmas party for all of us and even sent invites in the mail with a cute little poem she wrote. This was a fun filled night, complete with dinner of all kinds of seasonal snacks, crafts for the kids, pin the nose on the reindeer, snowman toss and a scavenger hunt. She also wanted to decorate gingerbread houses but had no time. (We crammed in a ton in that short time so Im so glad we didn't try) It was a blast!
Having that space upstairs makes all the difference in the world and it is completely dedicated to their Grandkids, as you can see all the Disney characters behind Mike and Lincs.
Eating out "dinner"
We stayed for a few minutes after the Davis #2 family left to give Peg her B-day present and it was nice to have her read them some stories and quiet too :)
watching the snowman tossers
Grandma handing out their goody bags so they could collect their loot! and let me tell you there was a ton!
Lincoln making his homemade snow...it was fun!
Peggy put together a Santa apron just like mine for Vienna but Lincoln was home and got to it first so he got to be my helper and boy does he love doing that.
We were hanging out in the car while Everett slept and everyone else shopped, so we did selfies.
With the elves!
Vienna and I making sugar cookies with Vienna for Mom date. She loves to be in the kitchen with me.
The final result...I did these after she went to bed. The ones they decorated got eaten right away.
Vienna's preschool had a little party and the family was invited and it was lots of fun to be apart of.
These two are sitting on the chair together having a great time!
This little man loving the 2 steps, just going up and down, standing, walking.
At the little table with my boys. Love them!
Bree was so thoughtful last year and got me these Christmas Jammies to match hers and so this year we had a girls "movie" night, creme brulee and did our gift exchange, it was such fun...I love my Bree. I also love that Bryson totally photo bombed us. Hilarious!
Those are some of our pre-Christmas highlights and next will be Christmas. yay!
