25 Days of Christmas - Day 9

Activity of the Day: Rawls Road Christmas




Since both of you took extremely long naps today, we called the Reynolds and went to see the lights at the houses located on Rawls Road which run with the Christmas music played on 87.5 FM. This was our first year to see the display and I was impressed with how much work the homeowners put into it.

Activity of the Day: Watch Prep & Landing

The card that was pulled for the day was to watch Disney's Prep and Landing which was a 30 minute holiday show on ABC. But somehow, Prep and Landing turned into Aladdin. I had good intentions for 25 days of Christmas but we hit a minor bump. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

Activity of the Day: Christmas Craft - Foam Christmas Scene

Thank goodness for Michael's Arts and Crafts store. Since Mommy is not the most creative of people, I headed over to Michael's and found this cute little set that we built together. By the time it was all said and done, we were glistening with iridescent glitter. Fun but definitely messy.

25 Days of Christmas - Day 5

Activity of the Day: Christmas Craft

The actual activity was suppose to be pictures with Santa, but you were not having any part of that idea and I figured that Vaughan wasn't going to cooperate either. So to save myself the fustration in the middle of the mall, we decided to head over to the Reynold's for a Christmas craft and some dinner.

We made wreaths with tissue paper. The directions were to use the eraser end of a pencil, place it into the middle of the square of tissue paper and draw the sides of the paper up and use the covered eraser to dip into the glue and press onto the wreath. Well, you deemed that too much work and decided to take each piece of tissue paper, ball it up and dip it in the glue and place it on the wreath. I guess you decided that it would be more efficient and take less time to do the craft your way. Way to find the short cut.

25 Days of Christmas - Day 4

Activity of the Day: Christmas Movie and Slumber Party

It's always a special treat to be able to have a slumber party with Mommy and Daddy. Something that you LOVE to do. Tonight, we watched "Charlie Brown Christmas" and you crashed in our bed. Unfortunately, there is no picture for today. I tried to figure out how to use the timer on my camera so that I could be in a picture and after several minutes and attempts, Vaughan decided that he was too cranky for pictures.
