1. Visit Santa (we went to Bass Pro again)
2. Pick out a new Christmas book (we used gift cards from his birthday- thanks, Mal!)
3. Find Elf (B got a gift card for Elf on the Shelf. I had planned to just stick him on the shelf and forget about him until it was time to put the decorations away. That plan might get changed because every time B has went past the elf today he points to him and claps and claps.)
4. Make paper snowflakes and snowballs (B loves wadding up paper so we'll let him make some 'snowballs' and I'll make a couple snowflakes to put up with them so hopefully it wont look like we just hung garbage up in the window) ;)
5. Choose a friend from the local angel tree to shop for
6. Wrap presents (we might do this one after bedtime... or let him 'help' by wadding up paper again)
7. Christmas movie night (with popcorn and green & red M&Ms)
8. Christmas with the OK family (make gingerbread men!)
9. Make reindeer feet
10. Choose something from the 'serving friends' list to complete
11. Decorate cookies/make Christmas treats
12. Caroling (with cookies but maybe not so much singing)
13. Take a meal to someone
14. Sock snowball fight
15. Jolly Holiday Lights
16. Go out for breakfast
17. 'mistletoe' feet
18. Hot cocoa by the fire (straight from the 'north pole hot cocoa bar' of course)
19. Take Christmas pictures
20. Visit the library to read Christmas books
21. Take a treat to a neighbor we haven't met
22. Christmas at the cabins
23. Make Christmas ornaments
24. Read the Christmas story
25. 'camp out' under the Christmas tree (sleep in the living room)
We've gotten a start on #19... cant show you all of them because I don't want to give away the Christmas card pictures but here's a little sneak peek...
Silent night?? Maybe not. :)
And next year R (and apparently B) want to add a trip to the Christmas tree farm and chop down our tree to the list of Christmas festivities. B might need a bigger car though!
