The days leading up to Christmas

Wade was a lot of fun this year, understanding a little more about the holiday season. He was so intrigued by Santa and elves and the North Pole. So, I put together an advent calender with Christmas-y things to do each and every day to introduce Wade to a few of the fun things there are to do around Christmastime- and just to torture Mark ;) We read Christmas books (the Grinch was his favorite), did a few crafts (mostly involving glitter), watched Christmas movies (Frosty, Rudolph, the Grinch, and the Polar Express), drove around to look at the lights and many, many other things. It was much busier this year with so much to do!

Here's the beginning of the advent calender


The advent calender on Christmas Eve, all filled up!


Waiting, not so patiently, for Santa


But it was sooo worth the wait!

Helping make Spritz cookies


They turned out pretty good!
