Who still posts about Christmas in February and late february at that.... oh that would be me...
This year I wanted to enjoy our Christmas just as much the last and it was even more exciting because Ej really grasped the concept of Christmas and was so excited about Santa that it made everything super magical. This year we added lights into the mix and it was so very fun.
The balcony all lit up at night
The Christmas tree with the Christmas book advent activity in the basket next to it, which was a blast.
This year I decided against the activity advent because I didnt want to commit myself to too much. We did however add a new tradition that was a big hit. We started the Elf on the Shelf tradition and Ej proudly named our elf "john john" whom he loved to find each morning after john john had gone back to the north pole for the night and reported on Ej's behavior of the previous day. Ej was not allowed to touch john john or else he would lose his magic but he could talk to him as much as he wanted about anything he wanted. Wow was that so cool to our little man. He still mentions telling john john about different things.
And below Ej taking a little Christmas themed bath. I found the idea of a blog titled "In leiu of Preschool" about themed baths using foam which sticks well to bathtub walls with water and so we made some fun shapes and he played for quite a while in these fun baths.
And this was Christmas eve morning. It was sucha great day...
I know it's lame but to be continued....
