We're in Christmas mode around here! On Thanksgiving night (speaking of Thanksgiving, I realized I didn't take a single photo that day - oops; we went out to eat with friends - good times), Phil and I started the season off right with watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Gosh, that movie is fantastic :)
On December 1st, our little Helper Elf showed up outside the front door, delivered by Santa himself. This year, he brought a stuffed Helper Elf that the kids can play with. Henry's been carrying him everywhere he goes!
Henry's very much into his Advent calendar this year. This was one of his activities last week, my favorite decoration, a gingerbread house.
As you can see by the wardrobe change, it took him quite some time to finish it. I did the icing and he did all the candy - he did a fabulous job!
We've been checking up on Santa's reindeer everyday on the Reindeer Cam. Santa comes out to feed them a few times a day, and Henry just lights up when that happens!
His letter to Santa is signed, sealed, and we'll be delivering it to Macy's when we go see him this week. He was wavering between this Hot Wheels car maker and Legos for quite some time, but now it's in writing and the Hot Wheels car maker is the winner.
Here's my favorite house in our development. Check out the decor! Clark Griswold would be proud. A+ for effort, if you ask me! Henry asks to go by it all the time.
The last couple weekends, we've been enjoying "Christmas movie and popcorn night" with the kids. Their stockings had some matching pj's for them a few nights ago. So cute!
Let the Christmas activities continue!!
