Family Christmas Celebration

CHRISTMAS COOKIES


We had a fun time celebrating Christmas with the girls by opening a few gifts, making cookies, stamping Christmas cards and making picture ornaments.


PRESENTS

Sydni loved hew new books and Littlest Pet Shop toys but was very, very tired after all this fun!

Tori loved her spy kit with secret messaging pen, spy glasses and periscope.


Kayli loved her new cobalt blue Nintendo DS that she was not expecting!


Naomi loved her new baby that she named "Seeba" and her new doll stroller!


The girls especially liked the clue game we play with their biggest presents. We always wait until everything has been opened and then they discover their first clue!


They find a "clue" on the tree leading them another mystery location in the house just to find another clue to the next location and so on. We really stumped them this year with a few and they had a great time trying to figure it out. The final destination is where their biggest surprise is for that Christmas.


Here's a sample of what the clue were for this year:


Clue #1 – (elephant statue) - Sydni

They’re far from their home

Not much room for them to roam.

Good thing they live higher,

Nice and safe, away from the fire.


Clue #2 – (game closet) - Tori

Have an APPLE or some CANDY,

It’s more fun to share with family,

These treats come on a board or a card,

I hope this CLUE is not too hard.


Clue#3 – (garage: on a bike) - kayli

Every morning when it’s almost 8,

Pack up and don’t be late,

Mount up and hold on tight

Make sure to look left and right.


Clue#4 – (baby’s crib) - sydni

Shhhh, this is where someone new will be,

Tucked Under a blanket with her teddy

She’will be here when we turn off the light

Safe and warm to sleep at night.
