Jake and I decided to do a Christmas countdown with the boys. We had something planned for each day until Christmas. Most of them were things we did together as a family. There were a couple of small gifts but the point was to spend quality time together, not think about presents constantly, and remember baby Jesus was born. Some days were just hot cocoa wrapped up or a game that we already had that we were going to play. We drove around and looked at Christmas lights, sang Christmas songs, made a gingerbread house and some other things.
The first night was making home-made caramels! That was fun and they were very yummy!
Another night was making Christmas cards
One night was dancing to Christmas music...
We also pretended Nolan's baby doll was baby Jesus. We wrapped up the baby like Jesus was wrapped up the night he was born in the stable
This was a lot of fun (after Cameron realized he wasn't getting a present every day and started enjoying the activities :) We will probably do it again next year!
