Can
you guess what I'm going to say?
Yes, I wish I had gotten more pictures!
For the month of December we did 25 Days of Christmas. In the picture below you'll see a basket full of envelopes. We opened one each day and it gave us some sort of task to complete. It could be anything from reaading a book to doing something charitable.
We donated food to the local food bank, we baked lots of cookies... we did something Christmasy EVERY day in December and it was fun! We certainly learned that Christmas is more than just receiving gifts.
But, of course, gifts are a part of Christmas... If you're on Santa's "nice" list.
We had a visitor this year and she was one of Santa's elves. She came to keep an eye on you and report to Santa if you were deserving of presents. We found her doing so many silly things though!
She floated with balloons, dyed our milk, drew on our pictures in the living room, climbed the Christmas tree, etc. She was pretty cool!
And when Christmas came, you had presents... so you must have been reported as a "nice" girl.
On Christmas Eve morning, we hosted a breakfast for the Otero side of the family. Then we spent the evening at the Smith's.
On Christmas morning, we kept it slow and simple with our own little family. We like the intimate moments our family gets to have when we keep it to just the three of us (soon to be four!).
You are a sweet girl!
I love you! I'll get more pictures next year... I promise!
Love you,
Mom
