We started two new counting down to Christmas traditions this year. I made countdown blocks that we enjoyed changing each day.
We also had a felt advent calender that we put notes in that would lead to a special little treat such as candy, Christmas socks, books, small toys etc. On the last day the hint was the gift was under the tree. The kids got to open their Christmas PJ's!
Christmas Eve was at our brother Adam's house in Manteca. It was nice being with family and we tried something new this year. The kids acted out the nativity scene. Both Aubrey and Carter were angels. The kids loved dressing up and I really enjoyed all the beautiful music we sang as a family.
After the play we had our annual White Elephant game. It is always so much fun!!
There were a few as seen on TV gifts that made us all laugh.
After the party we headed home to get ready for Santa.
The PJ'S were super cute! Daddy read us the Night Before Christmas.
Then we wrote Santa a letter. We put out some milk and cookies and a carrot for the reindeer. Then up to bed!
