Our favorite Christmas activity this year was the 12 days of Christmas. We wanted to try and do something that focused on giving rather than receiving. This was our first time doing it and it ended up being the highlight of the season. We picked an elderly couple in our ward who always shake Emily and Jake's hand at church each Sun. We just love them. Plus we figured if the kids couldn't run away very fast that they would play it cool. We had fun coming up with and making different things for each day. The kids just loved leaving the present and running away in the snow. It was 12 days of pure fun. It turned out that they had never had anyone choose them before and this year they had someone else choose them too! They said it was the best Christmas and they looked forward to each evening and the surprises left at their door.
Devo is helping the kids make chior angels from marshmellows, since it was his idea. It turned out awsome and just might be a keeper.
The kids enjoyed making and painting bread dough ornaments.
