Advent Activities 2012

We have had a blast with our advent activities this year.  The girls are at such fun ages and just love spending time together.  We will enjoy it as long as it lasts!

Here Natalie is helping me roll and cut out gingerbread men so we can decorate them for preschool and for ourselves!  This girl is always eager to join me in the kitchen.  As soon as she sees beaters or a mixer she runs for her apron and step stool.

After the gingerbread men were done baking we met up with the Spencer's at Bass Pro Shop to play and visit with Santa! They have a ton of fun things for the kids to do-like the carousel above.

Rifle practice

And a talking reindeer!  They also have an indoor snowball pit, remote control trucks and a crossbow range-super fun!

This Santa was so nice-even with being so overworked!  That beard is real! He was so sweet and talked to each of our girls.  He told Anna to keep being 'precious'

 Another night we headed to our local outdoor mall for some festive activities

 They have these machines that simulate snowfall--it was so fun, the girls loved it!  It was quite the storm.

 "snow" in our hair

 These girls were pretending the ladybug was a reindeer that they were flying through the storm.  I love to see their imagination in action

 We listened to storytime with Mrs. Claus, here they are waiting for it to begin.  She told the story of 'The Gingerbread Man' and it was adorable!  She also told us her husband's favorite cookie was chocolate chip!

Natalie was in awe of Mrs. Claus.  She just kept staring at her. The magic of Christmas has definitely enveloped Natalie this season-it is fun to witness

Life as we know it is full of laughter, fun, stress, love, faith and surprises. What more could we ask for?
