25 Days of Christmas - Day 19

Activity of the Day: Drive around and look at Christmas Lights

After dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house we played some holiday music and went through all the subdivisions in the community to look at all the Christmas decorations. Even though, we are in a down economy, it's amazing how many people still get into the holiday spirit and do what makes them happy. Never let the small things get you down, enjoy what is most important - Your Family. I love you baby girl.

Activity of the Day: Make Bentley and his buddies some Christmas Treats

You love to be in the kitchen. Must be from spending time with Yai in the kitchen because it's something that I don't do often. However, this holiday season, I decided to tackle the task. I looked up a simple healthy recipe for dog treats and I found this:

1.5 cups of whole wheat flour

1.5 cups of flour

1/2 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of water

2 tablespoons of oil.

Combine, roll the dough and cut them out in assorted shapes (we made dogs, and Santa hats) and put in the oven until hard. So simple and Bentley really enjoyed them.

Activity of the Day: Make food for Santa's Reindeers

Start with some oatmeal

and then you thought that the reindeers would enjoy some smores so we added some chocolate chips, marshmellows and graham crackers.

As usual, Bentley was hoping for an accident to occur.

Activity of the Day: Make Christmas Ornanments

Super easy and really inexpensive. I went over to Target and for less than $3.00 I was able to get this foam kit that made 2 ornaments. Both you and Vaughan were able to work on this and they turned out super cute.

Activity of the Day: Make Hand Wreaths

Easy as 123... Trace your hand and place in a circle. Looking at this, we should probably add a bow and some holly next time we do this. But the attention span was a little short today.
