Mailing Letters to Santa
We have had so much fun these past few weeks with all the excitement of Christmas and counting down the day until his arrival! Last Wednesday we went to The Children's Museum for Jolly Days! We just love the holiday season there! The 'Yule Slide' is so much fun! Rogan feels he should be able to ride it himself but he's still a bit too young. I rode down the slide with him on my lap and boy was he not happy. I thought he was going to hank out all my hair in protest! That's our strong willed boy! Grayson just loved it! He rode down before us with his friend Seth, riding down beside him. Our wonderful friends Krista and her son Seth, who is Grayson's best bud went along with us and Seth's adorable baby sister, Abby. She melts my heart. We also made our way up to Jolly Land where it's all decorated for the winter season. The boys ice skated (in their socks) and Rogan pet and brushed the reindeer. He also played in the ice castle. Our last stop as always , the four floor where we ride the carousel.
We also wrote letters to Santa and dropped them off at his mail box. The boys already got their letters back from Santa at The North Pole. They were so excited to open their mail from Santa. Neigel, our elf, has been reporting good behavior at least a good effort for good behavior. It's hard when your young and there's so much excitement all around! The boys have been enjoying their calendar where they move the candy cane counting down the days until December 25th. After they move the candy cane, they get to pick out a piece of candy from The Christmas Bell from when I was a little girl, given to me by their Grandma Lyons. We have also been doing our holiday baking and sugar cookies too. We love to make trays and pass them along to our friends and neighbors! The boys had a fun holiday craft making holiday card hangers for our Christmas cards. We took clothes pin and decorated them to look like snow men. It was so fun. I just love doing crafts with them!
Saturday, we went to Conner Prairie to spend breakfast with Santa! What fun!! We had a great breakfast along with a cookie and then got to sit on Santa's lap and the boys told him their Christmas wish list. Afterwards, we headed over to see the ginger bread houses. They were amazing. Conner Prairie has a ginger bread contest every year and boy are they a site to see. After looking at the ginger breads, we bundled up and went outside for the Prairie Outdoor adventure. We had so much fun. It was cold but the sun was out and the wind was calm, what a beautiful day! Grayson taught a lesson at the school while Rogan helped too. After wards, we headed over to Dr. Campbell's house where the boys had some cookies they were baking because at Conner Prairie, it was Christmas Eve and everyone was getting ready for the big celebration that night. Grayson and Rogan helped carry in wood with Daddy's help and earned a hay penny (which is 1/2 a cent). They also get to pet some horses.
Today, we are headed to The State Museum for 'The Polar Express' at the IMax! That should be lots of fun as well. More fun to come as the days grow closer to Christmas! My boys have been enjoying dancing and celebrating to 'Jingle Bell Rock'! That is their favorite holiday song this year. One of my many favorites too. We will keep celebrating this amazing season of the birth of Christ and continue to share our memories with all of you.
