Christmas Kickoff!

We had such a fun time at our Christmas kickoff this year. It is one of the things the kids most look forward to each year. 

We started off by going to the Children's museum and playing there. 

Then we came home and opened the Christmas Kickoff Box. Some of the highlights from the box this year: Special butter that the kids tried at a Christmas market and really wanted (we went back and got it without the kids knowing); Spot It (game); a Christmas Yoto card; Candy Cane Hot Chocolate; Popcorn; Rise of the Guardians (movie); and Magna tiles. 

We used the new magna tiles (with all the ones we already had) to make Christmas themed shapes. Austin and I made Christmas trees. 

Shantel made a snowman and Lydia made the Nativity. 

Caleb made a little cottage with a fence. 

We played Spot It and some other games. Then we had our movie night and watched Rise of the Guardians and slept out under the Christmas Tree together. 



In the morning Shantel made Crepes and we had a delicious breakfast together.
