December 10- Rhema

So our plans got changed around a little bit, We were suppose to go ice skating tonight but decided to wait till Wednesday so my dad can go with us. We were suppose to go to Rhema Monday night but it is suppose to be super cold so Wednesday nights craft got moved to Monday night and it all works out. Plus my mom got to come with us which was even more fun. And I made them walk around instead of being scrooges :)

Today was the 10th day of the advent calendar and he got Rudolph chap stick

December 9th- Button Ornaments!

Well today I was glad we didn't have anything major planned just simple and easy. We made these cute little button wreath ornaments. It was easy and Ryan had fun making them!

It is drying right now from all the glue and then we will tie a ribbon around it and Ryan can hang it on his tree.

Today was the 9th day on the advent and Ryan woke up in a crazy mood and didn't want his hair fixed and quite frankly I could care less anyways. He got a hot wheels today. and you can tell by the pictures what kind of funky mood he was in

 He is so silly and I just love him to pieces!!

December 8th- Christmas kingdom and honor heights

Today we met my grandma in Muskogee enjoyed dinner at Applebee's and then went to Honor Heights and Christmas Kingdom. Ryan enjoyed it , he was a little disappointed that Santa Clause and the Grinch wasn't there or pony rides and camel rides, but that is what you get for going on the weekdays. He still enjoyed the lights and the blow ups

We did see this Santa though

I think my grandma found her true love

Sweet picture of my grandma and Ryan

Today was the 8th day of the advent he got another eraser shaped like a pencil and then I accidentally broke it right after the picture oops!(oh and that is the last eraser I'm sure your tired of hearing about erasers)

December 7th- The Christmas Story

Today we read the Christmas Story, it follows the bible pretty accurately and it sums it up for children which in my opinion is a good thing. This was my golden book when I was little and I have cherished it ever since. I was so glad it is something I could share with Ryan

We put a light in our window tonight , it represents that we welcome Jesus into our home. That we will let our light shine for everyone to see.

The 7th day of the advent calendar he got chocolate shaped like Santa's!

December 6th-St Nicholas day and Paper Chains

Well the sickness is gone at our house it didn't last long, Praise the Lord! Ryan woke up bright and early this morning to find a letter from Santa and some awesome bath crayons.

 As you can see the by his silly face he is definitely feeling better.

Our fun activity today was making a paper chain and we made a huge one and hung it up. He kept saying I love this craft it is taking so long, I love long crafts

and today for the advent calendar he got another eraser this time it is shaped like scissors!

December 5th- Writing Letters to Santa

Well today went great until 5:30, Ryan got sick and has spent the rest of the night in the bathroom. Did we have our letter written yet? No of course not. So in between throwing up, Ryan tried to write some of the letter and then I took over, So as you will see the letter is being written in the bathroom.

and we still needed to sprinkle the reindeer food on the ground, which of course he wanted to do. So I bundled him up and out to the yard we went

He seems to be doing better now, Lets hope it stays that way.

This was also the 5th day of the advent calendar
he got candy canes, pre-throwing up.

December 4th-Reindeer food!

So today didn't go how I exactly planned but it turned out great anyway. Today's agenda was to make reindeer food. It's really simple, I had a mason jar and we layered oats, regular sugar, and decorators red and green sugar. Ryan did all the work and even though I was tempted to help so there wasn't such a mess I am glad I didn't it was easy to clean up and who cares over a little spilt sugar. Right?

Here's a few pics of him making it

And this is what I found when I came back in the kitchen

The boy likes sugar.

Ryan's uncle Jeremy came to put up lights today, Which turned out to be 2 trips to target for me, because Phillips didn't make their lights right. Frustrating but I ended up saving some money so it was good.

Ryan took the last picture, he thought he was cool, apparently he stole my camera today because I have random pictures in there like of his sheets and the Christmas trees and stockings it's pretty funny.

The 4th day of the advent calendar he got another eraser that was shaped like a stapler this time. He was pretty excited and took a picture with the glue eraser again as well

Oh and back to the reindeer food, we will be sprinkling it on our yard tomorrow night because of St. Nick day. When you sprinkle it on the yard there is a little poem that goes with it.

                                              Sprinkle on the lawn at night
                                              The moon will make it sparkle bright
                                              As Santa's reindeer fly and roam
                                              This will guide them to your home.

Hope you guy's are having a great weekend :)
