25 Days of Christmas - Day 13

Activity of the Day: Read a Christmas Book

This particular book I bought for you last year from a company that will personalize a book with your name in the story and information about you. As I read this story, you had a hard time understanding that this was a fictional book and insisted that you did not do any of the things that the book described. So what was suppose to be a simple story time ended up in a description and lesson between fact and fiction.

Activity of the Day: ICE

Woke up this morning and had planned just to do the ICE exhibit at the Gaylord Palms and then head back home. However, Daddy and I decided, last minute, to stay one more day to relax and take it easy.

At 9 degrees, you didn't like the exhibit all that much. Actually I think that the only part that you were remotely interested in was the slide. So we hurried through that and headed over to Downtown Disney where we bought you and Ava light sabers. MUCH BETTER!!!

Playing with each other is fun....


But ganging up on Daddy is better.

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.

25 Days of Christmas - Day 8

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.
