Before we boarded our plane to Colorado, we had a little fun here at home getting ready for the holiday too. Leo and I got to go on date to see his cousins in the Nutcracker ballet! It was actually just the dress rehearsal which suited us just fine since that meant we didn't really have to sit all of the way still or be super silent for long. Leo mostly just loved playing with the theater chairs.
Afterwards we stopped in at Dairy Queen on the way home and got a blizzard. You can tell that Leo REALLY liked his :)
Another fun thing we did was make gingerbread houses. It was nothing fancy because I knew he really wouldn't care and it was just for us. I made some good "glue" icing and pulled the random candy (most left from Halloween!) and graham crackers out of the pantry and let him go wild. He thought it was super fun to add a chimney that was one of our mini ice cream cones. It was a hodge podge of decorations but it just goes to show that the fun is in making it and the added stress and running around to get the "right" decorations would have been just for my piece of mind....Leo had a blast and thought it was the most beautiful creation ever :)
There were way too many fun activities to recount this year; the holidays sure seem more fun with some little ones around!
