Christmas Fun!

If you read my last post, you know that we have started a new Christmas tradition called the Surprise House. On Day 2, the kids were so excited to see what our next activity was going to be.

The note said "Eat Christmas ice cream!". So we headed over to Yo-Yogurt to get some peppermint bark frozen yogurt. Yummy!

On Day 3, I forgot to take pictures (Boo!) but the note said "Play with Cousins A & Z". Andrew's office Christmas party was that evening, and my cousin Stephanie and her husband Troy generously agreed to watch the kiddos so that we could enjoy an evening out. THANKS, guys! We had such a great time having dinner and going to see "The Lion King" with his co-workers!

Day 4 we were back on track and it was super cold outside....

....so the note said....

...."Make a fire in the fireplace!". We were all ready to enjoy a nice relaxing fire....

....and this was the last picture I snapped before the smoke started coming into the house! I'm not sure what the problem was because the fireplace flue was in the correct position, but instead of enjoying a fire we spent the rest of the evening trying to air out the house. Thanks, Surprise House.

Day 5....again I forgot to take pictures, but the kids were so pumped when the note said "Watch Charlie Brown Christmas".

Day 6. Are we running out of ideas yet?

Nope! The note said "Read Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer".

Here they are reading with Daddy!

This has been a fun tradition, and the kids look forward to it every single day. Stay tuned for more updates!
