Christmas Activities

Helping in Kate's class
Guard and I were able to help the Kindergarteners decorate Christmas trees.  We had so much fun - especially Guard, who pretty much his body weight in candy.
Visiting the Reindeer
I think Guard enjoyed this as much as anything we did this season.  He was fascinated by the reindeer at Thanksgiving Point.  Enoch and Kate liked them too.
Homemade Hot Chocolate
This was probably Enoch's favorite thing we did.  He adores homemade hot chocolate.  We got out all the fixings - three kinds of marshmallows, whipped cream, ice cream, etc.  The kids had a great time building their hot chocolate.




Snow Shoveling
All the kids love shoveling!  It's a chance to play in the snow, spend time with Dad and have fun with each other.
Decorating Gingerbread House
What would we do without Costco, pre-made gingerbread houses?  We love them and all their candy.  This year they had fondant, and Gavin took over that job.  The kids did great and the house looked wonderful.  It lasted almost three full days after decorating it.
Decorating Gingerbread Cookies
I made cookies earlier in the day, but ran out of time and energy and the frosting didn't get done.  No worries!  We pulled out the whipped cream and candy and the kids loved it.  In fact, we might do it again next year.
Guard making his favorite sign, 'candy'.  He's done that sign a lot lately.
