December

Probably one of the best parts of having kids is making our own family traditions. We are having a ton of fun with the kids and helping them understand the meaning of the holidays we celebrate.
Starting December 1, we have had a different activity each day. Last Sunday was cool because it was Dec 1- the first day of activities- and it was the first Sunday of Advent at church. Cayle enjoyed the huge Advent candles at the front of church. And he's loving finding out what we will do each day for our Christmas activity.
So far, we:
*decorated the house, inside and out :)
*colored in the Christmas coloring book

*sang Christmas carols - which actually turned into a Cayle/Lindy dance party...
*went to the library and checked out Christmas books and videos
*set out our shoes for St. Nicholas (see the haul below)

*made Christmas ornaments (sorry, they're a surprise!)
*had breakfast with Santa and cut down and decorated our Christmas tree
