This year our elf Mrs Peeps has been getting into a lot of trouble. One morning we woke up and she had Toliet Papered our Christmas tree and family room.
Another night she found a marker and drew mustaches on our photos.
One of Talan's favorite activites durning Christmas is to get out the Nativity Set. We usally watch the Nativity movie and then talk about each peoples as we place them.
This year we decided to watch the "Real Grinch" as Talan calls it. In the years past he has only wanted to watch the cartoon one because the on with Jim Carey was to scary. But this year he was brave and watched the whole movie and liked it.
Jason and Linx made it through about half of it.
One morning we woke up to Mrs Peeps making a pie. So we decided that it was the perfect day to spend in the kitchen so we started on some cooking projects we wanted to do before Christmas.
Our neighbors made us some awesome hot chocolate stiring spoons so we decided to make some more for our Hot Chocolate bar that we do on Christmas Eve.
We warmed up the chocolate and poured it into the spoons. I only had blue spoons, not Christmas colors but you couldn't pay me enough to run to Walmart today to get some more festive ones.
Then we added crushed peppermint and sprinkles to make them pretty. It is so fun to stir your hot chocolate with these chocolate covered spoons and yummy to.
We couldn't forget about Santa reindeer so we made some reindeer food for them.
On Christmas eve night we go in the front yard and scatter the food around. That way the reindeer can have a treat while they are waiting for Santa to drop off the gifts.
Our finished products.
