We are officially on the countdown to Christmas with themed dress up days at school, attending the local Christmas parade, visits to see the big guy in red, Christmas performances at church and making Christmas cookies at Grammy's house. We have been busy the last few weeks soaking in all the fun that this season has to offer!
As a Christmas present from the Kennedys, we were able to see Disney on Ice! I hadn't been since the 1980s so I don't think I knew exactly what to expect. I will have to say it far exceeded any expectations I had with a very impressive show on the ice! We had a blast!
Photo evidence of our 80's Disney on Ice Experience.... Grandma Marilyn even made it possible for us to get out on the ice!
After Disney on Ice, we went to Seph's 7th birthday party and then to a bonfire at the Williams' house that night! We fit in a lot of fun activities for the day and enjoyed seeing family and friends along the way!
On Sunday we attended our town's Christmas parade after church. It was about an hour and a half parade and the boys came away with buckets full of candy.....no joke!
Sunday night we went to Cupcake Cuties to see Santa and tell the big guy our wish lists. The boys were able to put their letters in a mailbox that went with Santa to the North Pole!
One of our school's "dress up" days was "holiday headgear" so the boys and I matched with our Santa hats and black masks! ;)
Maddox is showing off the ornament he made for our school's Christmas tree!
On Wednesday night, the kids performed in our church's children's program. They had been practicing the songs since August and it was so cool to see the play and choir come together with a meaning message at Christmas time. Zander had a solo, Maddox had some small group parts with his kindergarten buddies (including "Away in a Manger") and Emerson was the heavenly angel.
The boys even got new board games from our children's ministry due to their consistent participation this fall.
Earlier today, we made Christmas cookies at Grammy's house... a yearly tradition I always love and one that gets harder each year as we add another cousin who is interested and able to help in the cookie making and decorating fun. Eli enthusiastically said "cookie" over and over again hoping to eat one prior to them being ready! haha
