Holiday Dress Up

December has arrived! I had an idea this year to do something creative, fun, or special each day until Christmas. So far I've given it my best try and it's been fun.

* The chocolate advent calendars. Always a hit!!
* Made chocolate chip pancakes using Reindeer, Snowman, & Elf shapes for dinner.
* Introduced The Elf On A Shelf as a new family tradition.
* We dressed up, went out for dinner, and then to the mall to have a picture with
Santa.
* Cooper was in the Holiday Parade with her girl scout troop.
* St. Nicholas brought goodies for the kids (a tradition at Aunt Kelly's house.)
* Cooper read The Night Before Christmas to us all.
* Baked Christmas cookies.
* Watching Holiday Christmas shows on TV.
* Listening to Christmas music. Favorite: Dominic the Christmas Donkey.

I'm quickly running out of ideas. I hope Chad will come up with a few of his own!!
