Hayden and William. Christmas gets more exciting when you have kids.
Hayden and William met Santa at Hayden's nursery school.
For advent this year we did 10 family activities leading to Christmas. One of the activities was make egg carton Christmas trees. Others were: watch a Christmas movie, look at all the lights in town, read the Christmas story, bake cookies, give treats to the neighbors, bake Jesus a birthday cake, and etc.
On Christmas Eve we opened stockings, our traditional Christmas Pj's, and a family movie.
This years movie was PLANES! We all got into our pj's and had snacks.Tonnes of fun!
After the movie we left cookies for Santa! Of course Hayden had to test them first!
Christmas morning we opened gifts and had a Christmas Breakfast. Pancakes, strawberries, whip cream, bacon, eggs and orange juice!
There is no greater joy then seeing the joy and excitement on your child's face on Christmas. And also trying to explain that Christmas is Jesus's birthday and having Hayden ask where he is and telling him you can't see him, he now thinks that Jesus is a ghost. ;) We tried!
The rest of Christmas was spent with family, friends and the flu!
PS: Our Friesen gathering had a recycled gift game and I got this kick butt wall paper, so we are redoing our living room! Cannot wait!
