The Christmas Rundown

Prepare yourselves, as this post kindof took a turn for the…. elongated?

The weeks building up to the big day were some of my favorite.

One of our advent activities was to bring cookies to the firemen and policemen. Our servicemen  LOVED seeing our little ones at their front door and made them feel pretty special by giving them a tour of their station complete with their own firehats, stickers and answering their never-ending questions.

After was the best part…

Another favorite was opening a new Christmas CD and dancing away the afternoon.

Making sugar cookies for Santa was a joy for us all, as Gwyn loved cutting out the shapes and sneaking some dough along the way, too. And the rest of us just liked to eat them.

And before bed we set out the cookies, milk and carrots. And of course, Gwyn tried to sneak a bite.

Christmas morning came and we made sure to fulfill Gwyn’s Christmas wish of pancakes…

And the rest of the day was filled with opening gifts, playing with toys, devouring delicious food and playing lots of games.

I am a little sad that it has all come to an end, but am so glad that many memories were made and that we all had a wonderful Christmas.

Until next year!
